Death by Teddy Bear

Another example of Islam's apparent inability to function in the real world comes from Sudan, where thousands of protesters are calling for the execution of a British teacher who allowed students to name a class teddy bear "Mohammed", claiming the act was an offense against Islam.

Of course, it's fine for parents to name their children "Mohammed" and then send them off to a suicide bombing that targets innocent people, but somehow that action isn't offensive to this allegedly "peaceful religion".

Seems the Sudanese are belying the "peaceful" epithet. Reminds me of the old saying: "We are a peaceful religion, and if you disagree, we'll kill you."
