That is so cliche, the bear holding a heart that says,
"I Love You."

I wonder how badly the kids were flogged.

40 lashes for naming a bear big mo? Well okay. Now 200 lashes for being gang raped doesn't seem so bad.

Maybe they should just cut out the preliminaries and behead the teddy bear.

It's almost more than I can bear!

Here's a possible technicality: the school children misspelled Muhammad.

speaking of things sensitive.

i was driving by an Auto-Mart the other day, and they had done a nice job foregoing the whole "holidays" debate by simply stating. "Happy New Year" in their christmas light display.

I thought that was slick! not only did they weasel their way out of having to figure out wheather to say "happy christmas", AND hannukah, kwanzaa, jule, winter equinox. But they also eliminated any charges of avoiding it from the people who would complain they were too multicultural!

My only hope is that the Chinese will attack them for not celebrating chinese new year.

Well that resolves what to name the new goldfish...

If they can name children after Muhammed why not a teddy bear? It is beloved. It is not like naming Piglet Muhammed.

“We are in contact with the authorities here and they have visited the teacher and she is in a good condition,” an embassy spokesman said.

Doubtful. She's been arrested for simply having part in naming a teddy bear Mohammed. This is the most obscene kind of satanic comedy imaginable.

So let's see... the ROPers will perform a clitorectomy on the poor woman, then take turns raping her over a period of 3-days, then read verses to her from the Koran, then de-breast her, then sever her head while ululating "Allahu Akbar..."

And ALL of that is perfectly OK with the Left, because we all want to honor the beautiful rainbow-like hues of diversity, especially the diversity of Islam in all its glorious, murderous, misogynistic, totalitarian hues.

The question of the day is will the British standby and let a teacher get imprisoned, and lashed for naming a Teddy bear Mohammed?
I know that they say to obey all laws in a foreign country, but the fact is in countries like Sudan anything can be a crime according to some individuals interpretation of the Quran.
If the British Government let this happen it really shows the absurdity of the Western world that we do not intervene on behalf of someone accused of naming a teddy bear who will receive harsh punishment. Im guessing a Sudan prison isn't like a 'club fed'

Seems terribly easy to "insult" the faux-prophet. I wonder why that is.

What if this happened in the UK or France?

Evidently, both the Brits and the Sudanese have forgotten the royal pee-pee smacking that the former administered to the latter at the battle of Omdurman.

I think a peremptory order for the release of Ms. Gibbons should emanate from Whitehall... no, make that Buckingham Palace, followed quickly by the arrival of a large number of British troops in Sudan. Hopefully, not those guys who got captured by the Iranians...

It would be funny if it weren't so f*cking crazy.

United for Peace of Pierce County (Tacoma, Washington) had a to comment on this story.

Gift giving turns deadly for Stryker soldiers.

Three Stryker soldiers were killed Sunday in Diyala Province, apparently when a suicide bomber struck as they were passing out soccer balls and treats to local children.

The Department of Defense identified the Fort Lewis soldiers as:

%u2022 Pfc. Marius L. Ferrero, 23, of Miami.

%u2022 Cpl. Jason T. Lee, 26, of Fruitport, Mich.

%u2022 Cpl. Christopher J. Nelson, 22, of Rochester, Thurston County.

Here is what Mark Jensen of United Peace had to say:

A front-page story in Wednesday's News Tribune (Tacoma, WA) tells of three U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq on Sunday "apparently when a suicide bomber struck as they were passing out soccer balls and treats to local children." -- But looking into this sad story leads to another source of sadness: the unreliability of Tacoma's daily paper. -- As far as we can tell, the adverb "apparently" is without justification. -- Not only is there no evidence that Pfc. Marius Ferrero, 23, Cpl. Jason Lee, 26, and Cpl. Christopher Nelson, 22, died handing out soccer balls, this seems never to have been asserted by any source. -- It is nothing but a gratuitous inference on the part of a News Tribune reporter. -- (CORRECTION: We apologize to Mike Gilbert for this statement, which further research shows to be wrong. An AFP report dated Nov. 19, before the release of the soldiers' identities, attributes to Maj. Peggy Kageleiry, "spokeswoman for the military," the assertion that three soldiers killed were "walking among children" and "were handing out soccer balls and stuffed animals to children next to a school yard when someone walked up and detonated himself." She added that "The only evidence of this we have so far is forensic found by EOD (explosive ordnance department). EOD investigated the scene afterward and determined that one of the dead was wearing a detonated suicide vest." The AFP report adds that "Kageleiry stressed however there were no actual witness accounts of a person blowing himself up.") -- See below for more details. -- An DoD announcement of the deaths released on Nov. 20 says the three soldiers were killed by "an improvised explosive device detonated during a mounted patrol in Baquabah, Iraq." -- The Dept. of Defense, for its part is refusing further official comment on the circumstances of the soldiers' deaths. -- But on Tuesday, Fort Lewis spokesperson Joe Hitt told a reporter that "From what I know, these were the same three soldiers, but I can’t verify it, that were giving out candy [sic] to children." -- Perhaps spreading stories that can't be verified is what the military calls "Information Operations." -- Or perhaps it's just that the News Tribune and Army spokespersons are unable to resist the beatific vision of angelic soldiers killed by evil-doers as they befriend innocent children. -- There is something Christ-like about the concept, isn't there? -- But Michigan papers reporting on the death of Cpl. Jason Lee have reported none of the embellishments that both Pacific Northwest and Florida papers have found irresistible.

I've one comment for Jensen. FOAD.

The guys killed are for the same unit that KVI listeners raised money to buy soccer balls for.

Holy crap...

It's Munich in America

An American Secretary of State should be in Baghdad brokering a reconciliation between Iraqi factions and locking down a victory for which nearly 4,000 Americans gave their lives. Iraq is the central front in the holy war against the West being waged by al-Qaeda and the Islamic Republic of Iran, and an American defeat in Iraq would lead to an escalation of that war to proportions that would make the current conflict in Iraq seem tame by comparison.

Instead, Condoleeza Rice has been shuttling between capitals in the Middle East in an attempt to feed a piece of Jewish meat to the jackals in the West Bank in the hopes that bribery and concessions will turn them into doves and they will agree to live side by side with a non-Islamic state -- a state run by pigs and monkeys, whom their prophet has cursed.

With all the international tension with the west against Islam this case of the teacher could get a lot worse. More so in the SUdan where they are reallly mad about Darfur. Their attitude might be "We'll teach these Kaffirs to respect us! Lets sentence this teacher to 100 years for blasphemy!"
With that in mind i find that in this day and age any "kaffir" who goes to these countries to try and help in ANY WAY is literally asking for trouble.
My advice is STAY OUT. Don't end up a political scape goat or hostage.

Following that link through, you get to the even cooler story about the DARPA project seeking "Shoot-Through, Invisible, Self-Healing Shields".

Metamaterials are already showing promise, as the building blocks to real-life invisibility cloaks; that's because the composites let electromagnetic waves flow around them, instead of reflecting 'em back. Darpa's "Asymmetric Materials for the Urban Battlespace" program goes way, way beyond mere invisibility, however.

"Asymmetric, or 'one-way,' materials will support basic unit operations such as raids, cordon and search activities, snap checkpoints, and fire fights," according to military budget documents. "Friendly forces will be able to see through [one of these new materials] and shoot through it, but hostile forces will not." Such shields will also have "the ability to 'self-heal' if necessary. The materials must be lightweight, respond instantly, and be easy to deploy and retract in confined spaces."

Next time the Predator shows up to hunt, we're just going to laugh at him, then give him an atomic wedgie and send him on his way.

Muslims are offended by how we kaffir comb our hair, how we tie our shoes, how we close a door, how we brush our teeth, how we walk or drive a car.

Perennially & perpetually aggrieved, about everything.

And we all do sommersaults ever day to avoid offending Muslims; we get strip-searched at airports while seething sheiks glide through security; we eliminate public displays of Christmas; we re-write scholastic textbooks & history to whitewash the monstrous historical crimes of Islam; we avoid references to Winnie the Pooh & refrain from publishing cartoons that Muslims find offensive; we say nothing when Muslims shoot people dead in a mall or run them over in their SUVs or kill little old ladies in a synagogue; we feed the starving masses in Afghanistan or Somalia & are repaid with murder.

Muslims are the whiniest, most thin-skinned people on earth. It is their God-given right to rape or kill infidels on a whim, but we have no rights at all in their eyes.

Ah, Sudan, former chosen home of Osama Bin Laden, the largest country in Africa, led by probably the most murderous man on the planet: President Omar Hassan al-Bashir. While now most people think of the Sudan crisis being Darfur (with spill over to Chad), where suspiciously the murder toll has been stuck at "at least 200,000" for 3 years now, the South is very fragile and people seem to have forgotten the millions indisputably killed there in what Colin Powell testified was the worst conflict since WWII, not to mention the slavery, though hypocritically, just last week Bashir accused the West of trying to "restart the slave trade", though ex-slave Simon Deng would take issue with this!

They name their children and their camels "Muhammad". It is, thanks to the muzzes, the most common name in the world. When did teddy bears become non-halal?

If their IQ was about 10 points higher they'd be plants.

Read the whole thing.
The behavior of these people makes them sound like barbarians.

bar·bar·i·an

1. A member of a people considered by those of another nation to have a primitive civilization.
2. A fierce, brutal, or cruel person.
3. An insensitive, uncultured person; a boor. See synonyms at boor.

synonym: Philistine, devil, monster, beast,

Originally used by Greeks to describe Persians. Later expanded to refer to people outside the Greek Roman civilizations.

characteristic - lacking in self control
--------------
I am not insulting Muslims because I read the posts to the BBC column and Muslims wrote in and said these people do not understand the religion of Islam, not are they following Islam, nor modeling good Muslim behavior.
Perhaps there should be an outreach program from modern Muslims to people left behind in the countries of origin. Saudi Arabia has the money, but apparently not the will nor the motivation.
---------------
It is too bad these people are preoccupied with pride and insults to their pride, instead of being involved with right and wrong, and with intentions. I just looked it up on enneagrams and it states that when someone with pride issues breaks down, they become hysterical.
Maybe someone from a distance should tell these "men" to stop acting like women of the Victorian era run amok.

“A visit of state”

“No public official ever enjoyed the affection and the blind devotion of the Jews on the Lower East Side of New York as did Theodore Roosevelt. There are several reasons for this, the most important being that Theodore Roosevelt had been the police commissioner of New York City, and thus had come in contact with thousands of Jews at the level of storekeeper, student, pushcart peddler, housewife, factory worker, and intellectual. No other non-Jewish government official ever knew Jewish life and problems as did Mr. Roosevelt. He was the first President to appoint a Jew to the Cabinet—Mr Oscar Straus; and you haven’t any idea what that meant at the time. There were special buttons made to commemorate the event, with two names imprinted on a background of red, white, and blue –Roosevelt and Straus.

It was at the height of the great immigration of Jews from eastern Europe. Close to a million had just come from the ghettos in Russia, Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Austria. They had come from a civilization which did not even allow them to go to a public school; and here they saw one of their coreligionists sitting in the Cabinet of the President.

Mr. Roosevelt had promised that when he became President he would make a “visit of state” to the Lower East Side. He was as good as his word. It was the gala day of all gala days. President Roosevelt went to the Little Hungary, a world-famous restaurant owned by Mr. Max Schwartz. The Little Hungary was a fabulous eating place, where food was considered one of the higher arts, and where the rich and the great came to dine and drink the excellent wine which flowed from a spigot at the bottom of each bottle. TR was escorted to the Little Hungary by rabbis and other dignitaries of the section. A highly dramatic incident occurred on the line of the march. A week or so before, President Roosevelt had expressed himself, in his usual outspoken manner, on the birth-control movement sponsored by Margaret Sanger. It was a new social philosophy at the time and we can forgive Mr. Roosevelt, if he felt that, as the head of the nation, he was expressing the opinion of the majority. Anyway he said birth control was immoral and that he was a great believer in large families, which he was, indeed. There was no connection between the President’s statement and his visit to the Lower East Side. But the controversy was fresh in the minds of the people, and as President Roosevelt walked down the street, Jewish mothers began to breast-feed their babies in full view. It was their way of showing the president that they were ‘for him’”.

AMEN!

I fully understand this. When I was a kid we had the same "bear naming" excercise in school. Most of the kids wanted to name the bear Rosie (for Teddy Roosevelt) but one weird kid wanted to name it Muhhamad. We all got mad and beat him up.

re: #56 jcm

OT

United for Peace of Pierce County (Tacoma, Washington) had a to comment on this story.

Gift giving turns deadly for Stryker soldiers.

Three Stryker soldiers were killed Sunday in Diyala Province, apparently when a suicide bomber struck as they were passing out soccer balls and treats to local children.The Department of Defense identified the Fort Lewis soldiers as:

%u2022 Pfc. Marius L. Ferrero, 23, of Miami.

%u2022 Cpl. Jason T. Lee, 26, of Fruitport, Mich.

%u2022 Cpl. Christopher J. Nelson, 22, of Rochester, Thurston County.

Here is what Mark Jensen of United Peace had to say:

A front-page story in Wednesday's News Tribune (Tacoma, WA) tells of three U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq on Sunday "apparently when a suicide bomber struck as they were passing out soccer balls and treats to local children." -- But looking into this sad story leads to another source of sadness: the unreliability of Tacoma's daily paper. -- As far as we can tell, the adverb "apparently" is without justification. -- Not only is there no evidence that Pfc. Marius Ferrero, 23, Cpl. Jason Lee, 26, and Cpl. Christopher Nelson, 22, died handing out soccer balls, this seems never to have been asserted by any source. -- It is nothing but a gratuitous inference on the part of a News Tribune reporter. -- (CORRECTION: We apologize to Mike Gilbert for this statement, which further research shows to be wrong. An AFP report dated Nov. 19, before the release of the soldiers' identities, attributes to Maj. Peggy Kageleiry, "spokeswoman for the military," the assertion that three soldiers killed were "walking among children" and "were handing out soccer balls and stuffed animals to children next to a school yard when someone walked up and detonated himself." She added that "The only evidence of this we have so far is forensic found by EOD (explosive ordnance department). EOD investigated the scene afterward and determined that one of the dead was wearing a detonated suicide vest." The AFP report adds that "Kageleiry stressed however there were no actual witness accounts of a person blowing himself up.") -- See below for more details. -- An DoD announcement of the deaths released on Nov. 20 says the three soldiers were killed by "an improvised explosive device detonated during a mounted patrol in Baquabah, Iraq." -- The Dept. of Defense, for its part is refusing further official comment on the circumstances of the soldiers' deaths. -- But on Tuesday, Fort Lewis spokesperson Joe Hitt told a reporter that "From what I know, these were the same three soldiers, but I can’t verify it, that were giving out candy [sic] to children." -- Perhaps spreading stories that can't be verified is what the military calls "Information Operations." -- Or perhaps it's just that the News Tribune and Army spokespersons are unable to resist the beatific vision of angelic soldiers killed by evil-doers as they befriend innocent children. -- There is something Christ-like about the concept, isn't there? -- But Michigan papers reporting on the death of Cpl. Jason Lee have reported none of the embellishments that both Pacific Northwest and Florida papers have found irresistible.

I've one comment for Jensen. FOAD.

The guys killed are for the same unit that KVI listeners raised money to buy soccer balls for.

Bastard Jensen. Go pound sand, you stinkin' liar.

re: #85 buzzsawmonkey

re: #59 American Jewess In Jerusalem

Who are these volunteers who go into Muslim countries? Are they Israel-hating, Jew-hating moonbats? Who else would go there and work for these barbaric savages? I don't understand.

It is entirely possible that not all of them are Israel- and Jew-hating moonbats, just moonbats of the common or garden variety who believe that Islam is a "religion of peace" and that all they need to do is spread warm fuzzies and they can buy the world a Coke and keep it company.

It wouldn't surprise me if this teacher felt genuinely guilty about the "crime" she has committed against the Religion of Peace (TM), and will make a sincere conversion to islam to repent.

re: #140 sagamoregal

Kinda O/T but this is further proof that the namesake of the "Teddy Bear" (though he loathed being called "Teddy") is rolling over in Heaven now over a teddy bear being called Muhammad:

THANKS! That's a great story about TR and one I had never heard. I must say, I'm not surprised. He's always been one of my personal favorites. He was quite an orator and a gifted wordsmith. He also had quite a lot to say about Islam....does anyone have the quote?

re: #142 GreenSoccer

Nope, I know.
But wasn't it common to do this until that cartoon when the guy said his pet was named Mohammad and the cartoon caused riots?
Well, the cartoon didn't cause the riots.
Some imam wanted to see how close to the front of the pack he was, so he incited riots over the cartoon to see if he could.
(And he could.)

Miss Gibbons would have never wanted to insult Islam.”

Wanna bet she has some choice insults stored up in her head right now?

/unless of course, she really is a raging moonbat, in which case she then is probably apologizing all over herself.

Annapolis scares the pee out of me. I'm an atheist, and I'm praying for the complete and utter failure of this "peace" conference. I don't need to believe in prophecy to know that the "success" of this conference would lead to the destruction of Israel and constitute a grave moral crime on the part of the United States, a crime for which an enormous price will be exacted ... a price we will never be able to pay in full.

Everyone ... beg, plead, with your friends and loved ones to call the White House, Rice's office, and the Israeli embassy and demand that Israel remain intact under Jewish control and that Israel make no further concessions to the Palestinians until the terror stops completely and the terrorists are disarmed.

re: #75 Ben Hur

It's Munich in America

An American Secretary of State should be in Baghdad brokering a reconciliation between Iraqi factions and locking down a victory for which nearly 4,000 Americans gave their lives. Iraq is the central front in the holy war against the West being waged by al-Qaeda and the Islamic Republic of Iran, and an American defeat in Iraq would lead to an escalation of that war to proportions that would make the current conflict in Iraq seem tame by comparison.

Instead, Condoleeza Rice has been shuttling between capitals in the Middle East in an attempt to feed a piece of Jewish meat to the jackals in the West Bank in the hopes that bribery and concessions will turn them into doves and they will agree to live side by side with a non-Islamic state -- a state run by pigs and monkeys, whom their prophet has cursed.

Uh, oh; I just showed my age.

It's too late now that this has made worldwide news. This teacher will have her sentence doubled. Being the good moonbat I assume she is, (why on Earth would anyone dare step onto Sundanese soil for anything except an emergency plane landing) she will most likely end up blaming the West somehow. We'll just have to wait and see because it's all so very sensitive right now.

Besides, she deserved it. Her appalling treatment of Islam and trampling of the cultural idiosyncrasies of the region are tantamount to the actions of General Gordon, can't you see? The "modernized" Mahdi forces await outside her jail cell.

Freaking primitives.

What an insult to the poor teddy bear, having been named after such a vile character. It's probably time for another round of riots in certain parts of the world. The only good thing that might come out of any riots is that there will be a few less violent fanatics in the world, if a few of them end up dying just like in previous riots. Anything is possible with those sorts of people, who just happen to be in possession of limited intellectual abilities. They'll riot over cartoon drawings which they've never even seen, so why not teddy bears ?

I believe that the best strategy to counter the primitive and violent beliefs of these fascist barbarians is to continuously mock, insult and ridicule these violence-proned people and their ridiculous threats at every available opportunity. Let them riot over teddy bears, cartoons and criminals who crash and kill themselves while stealing motorcycles. I find the whole situation vastly entertaining, and I actually look forward to more riots in the future.

I don't own any pets, but if I decide to get any in the future, I'd probably buy a pig and a dog and name them Mohammed and Osama, right after I had both of them converted to Judaism. I'd then take them with me to the Detroit Airport and patiently stand in line waiting to catch a taxi, while sipping from a bottle of wine.

re: #70 buzzsawmonkey

Buzzsawmonkey,

Nearly every man named "Muhammed" or "Hassan" is a three-dimensional representation of an animal figure.

What's your point?

re: #148 mean Gene

I don't remember anyone naming their pet after the big M. I do remember the imams putting photos from a French pig calling contest in with the cartoons and then traveling in the Middle East and telling Muslims that this was what Europeans thought of them. The fact that people died, to me, meant that Europe should have passed laws against people who incited riots especially on false information, that resulted in deaths, even if abroad, but alas Europe has neither discretion nor balls. The punishment could have been exile. Too bad.

You can buy yourself a Bush countdown clock. I would have, only I prefer one with a respectable photo of Bush, and not a disrespectful one. I suppose I could have bought one and covered the picture.

It is too bad Bush is willing to do anything to get the approval of the dems and they never will give it to him. He is out demming the dems and they still hate him.

A clever way out that should be seized by the British authorities:

Gillian Gibbons is a Chicago Bear fan, you see. Her favorite player is wide receiver Muhsin Muhammaed. She was naming the bear after her favorite Chicago Bear.

re: #150 Tigger2005

I called the White House this morning. I went out of my way to be polite.

I stated that I became a Republican in order to vote for President Bush in the primary of 1999, and voted for him since. Never have I been so disappointed, and that he was selling Israel out, and betraying one of our best friends. She cut me off, and said 'You said you are from NY?' contemptuously.

I said 'Yes, I am.'..she hung up on me. Yes, it is that bad.

re: #161 daledog

Brilliant idea. I hope you do send it. Emailing the British embassy is very easy.

Hey, I think the Sudanese should take this one step farther. Make it illegal to say mohammed, and illegal to be named mohammed. No one should even be allowed to write the name mohammed. That should cut down on insulting their prophet (pig blood upon him).

The world would be better off with a gazillion fewer mohammeds anyway.

re: #164 NY Nana

That really is horrible. I guess I have gone through a lot of stages with Bush. First when he won I saw him as a corporate petty vindictive type. Then I got to like him a little. Now in my view of him he is reverting.

I have never heard of the White House being rude! I think you should write the GOP, and email the president/White House to let them know. She is probably getting away with this. There should be a written record.

Let's hope she gets off with a fine and a firm talking to by the oh so godly men. This woman is in serious danger.

I wager they wouldn't have had any complaints if the bear had been wearing a vest o' dynamite.

re: #167 GreenSoccer

I had supported him from the first month of his campaign, especially after seeing the actions of the Demonrats. I honestly never expected this side of him to emerge.

She sounded older than I am and I will be 70 in January. IIRC, they are all volunteers. My husband just reminded me that this is not the first time that as a New Yorker, calling re Israel, that I have met with this. To be honest? At this point in his Presidency, I do not think that President Bush would care.

And I doubt they could trace the call to the person I spoke to.

I got right through, BTW. I honestly had expected there to be a queue because of Annapolis. I hope there will be.

The White House phone number for comments: 1(202)456-1111.

At first read of this story, I did not realize the schoolteacher is british expat.

Hopefully this will make a splash in the brit press. but even then I'm sure they won't realize the danger of Islam, and that such laws and discourse are soon coming to a town near them...

re: #165 GreenSoccer

I sent it. I would not have done so without your encouragement. Anglophiles unite!

re: #170 NY Nana

Well they keep all emails for historical record so that historical researchers can read and get a feeling for the times.
president@whitehouse.gov

I know they keep saying that he doesn't really care about the GOP and he has been sounding as if he supports Hillary. But the GOP should care. They say they publish comments.

I didn't know the White House had volunteers answering phones. I thought there was a Federal employee who was on the payroll who answered the phone. The least they can do is to give them some training that they are supposed to be polite, take down the info and tally up the numbers and it is not their opportunity to be rude. What are they going to do next? Put someone who is rude on a suicide line?

I voted for him but look what they ran against him, the man and his alcoholic lushy wife with a superiority complex yuch. OK so I don't know she was an alcoholic, maybe she was on tranquilizers. they may even have been prescribed.... for what condition?

re: #132 Lizard by the Bay

They name their children and their camels "Muhammad". It is, thanks to the muzzes, the most common name in the world. When did teddy bears become non-halal?

And that's not even counting the short form variations of the name "Muhammad," like "Mahmoud" (as in good terrorist Abbas or bad terrorist Ahmadinejad) or "Ahmed" (as in Bedier, the Florida spokesman for the unindicted co-conspirator CAIR).

What about all the PEOPLE named Muhammed? Should they all be executed?

re: #184 Opinionated

Bush is generally loyal to people. He is loyal to Blair and the way I see it, it is Blair's European policy that is so wrong. I guess since Blair got voted out supporting Bush, Bush feels he owes him.
I fidn when assumptions are wrong, everything else is wrong.

There was a good link on LGF under Saturady Night Link Depot that led to an explanation of what the US is doing by Dore Gold: Towards Annapolis: Is U.S. Policy Changing on Israel’s Rights in a Peace Settlement?

It has to do with "Take Me to Your Leader." The Palestinians have no good leaders so the US and Israel pick one and then they try to build him up by giving him arms etc. They make no demands of him because he is weak. Why don't they learn patience and wait for a leader to emerge? That is how they chose Arafat. Now they have chosen Abbas.

re: #191 Mad Mullah

Cheers. I'm being serious though. Why's it OK to name people Muhammed (who may turn out to be very bad people) but not a stuffed animal?

re: #195 USASupport

Because a person is not an idol, theoretically speaking.

The State Department has a website where it is inviting citizens to post comments on the Annapolis Shindig.

Comments are "moderated" but suprising they are posting some very negative comments. Indeed, the last time I checked -- a couple of hours ago -- all the comments were negative.

re: #194 GreenSoccer

If you read Gold, he believes Bush is backtracking- we non diplomats would use other words- on the promises he made to Sharon.

Where is Bush's loyalty? Israel took those fabled risks for peace by surrendering Gaza. How has Bush rewarded Israel for that catastrophe? By making more and more demands on her.

Bush has loyalty to his family's political and business interests and those loyalties flow to Riyadh.

Read Morris on Bush helping Hillary.

[Link: www.townhall.com...]

He doesn't even have loyalty to the party and his base supporters. It serves the Bush family interests if a Democrat is elected in 2008. Then Jeb has a possibility of becoming President sooner.

The CAIR Bears should be pleased.

re: #198 Opinionated

I agree that people kept calling him loyal for not dumping Rumsfeld and then he did after the election that hurt the GOP. And yes I have heard that perhaps the Bush family hopes that 8 years of Hillary will be enough to bring Jeb in. I also heard a theory that when Bush Sr started to cry when talking about Jeb that Jeb was the family favorite for the presidency but he had to win an election to be in the right position and that he lost that election, and that Bush Sr was crying about George having been put into the position and look what he has done with the opportunity.

re: #204 bald headed geek

Thank you for clarifying that.

But it is sad that Jews have lost their unity and even their support of Israel by being so Left and swallowing the Left line. The Muslim population is growing in the US and the voice of the Jews is disappearing.

We rioted and burned down the local lawn service offices when we heard one of the workers called the other one Jesus. It made no difference to our community that this is an extremely popular name- we considered it blasphemy and the only solution was rioting and burning. We are also considering the same activity for anyone with the names Moses, Abraham, Michael, Mary, Joseph, Sarah- well, you get the idea. We need to riot,burn and murder for the sanctity of Judaism and Christianity. ROPMA!ROPMA! ROPMA!

I need to raise my blood pressure- so I am going to check that other super great website Amnesty International and see what they have on the Saudi jailing and flogging of a rape victim.

It must be some kind of a covert Zionist conspiracy to trick Muslim fanatics into thinking there's something about a teddy bear.

Well, it's working!

Strange. You'd think the religion of peace would like having a cute little teddy bear named after their prophet. It would be great PR.

CAIR is going to have a tough time explaining this one, if they even bother.

You realize that we sent them soccer balls and they rioted over that. We sent them a teddy bears and they are rioting over that. Does anyone see a trend here?

re: #204 bald headed geek

Me too but I've been gone so long I forgot the difference between anglophile and anglophone. Are you still there or did you move?

re: #44 LionOfDixon

Geez - I hope they think twice about rolling out that Tickle Me Ibrahaim doll for Ramadan....

Don't worry Lion , they have a Behead Me, Gibreel one in reserve just for such marketing emergencies.

Islam and all of its followers must return to Mecca and repent.

Did someone point out the CAIR bear connection?

Sudan - 40 lashes for naming a teddy, slavery, ethnic cleansing, genocide
Zimbabwe - rigged elections, torture, racist land grabs
Cuba - dictatorship, murder of dissidents, no press freedom
Saudi - 200 lashes for rape victim, fascist muttawa, institutionalized racism
Iran - hangs gay people, stones 16 year old girls
Israel - has a fence to keep out terrorists

BOYCOTT ISRAEL!

Thanks for the laugh! :>}

re: #225 uptight

Good one! It should be turned into a poster. How many people will get it?

re: #225: WIN!

Ok so the state department posted my non complimentary post.

Funny, MSNBC has the story and they mention that the teacher could face jail time and a fine. They conveniently leave out the 200 lashes. Don't want to make the RoP look bad.

My, oh my! Where is that good-old Saudi sense of humor?
If they do put the teacher to trial, let's hope the teddy bear wont talk.

A British schoolteacher has been arrested in Sudan accused of insulting Islam’s Prophet, after she allowed her pupils to name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Wouldn't want anything warm and fuzzy associated with islam, now, would we?

Maybe, if I get a pet pig one day, that'll be its name!...

...just to piss 'em off, ya know!

re: #227 GreenSoccer

If the truth isn't obvious already, they'll never get it (or want to get it).

The most we can do is keep using the principle to embarrass the antisemitic left.

And support sites like engageonline

Remember the "This is your brain on drugs" TV spots?
Well, this is your brain on Islam.
Pure madness.

re: #235 UncleSam

reminds me of a cartoon I have hanging on my fridge from gorell040704

It has a picture of man with a beard and a crazy look to him with his left hand holding a raised sword and his right hand making a fist and he is saying "I'm Ayatollah Sunni-Shiite Mayhem candidate for the new Iraqi government, and I approved this message." Sort of sums up Bush's assumptions about spreading democracy in the Muslim world as a basis for peace in the world.

Has anyone looked into whether polygamy allowing rich men to have lots of wives and poor men to have none has contributed to the general craziness of the Muslim world? The behavior seems like a lot of pent up sexual frustration.

Good thing the bear is male. If the bear was female it would have to be wearing a veil. And what about it showing the soles of its feet? Isn't that an insult in Islam?

Too bad some Muslims regard a teddy bear being named Mohammad, but not terrorist murderers having that name, to be an insult to Islam.

re: #103 firebreather

"Muslims are the whiniest, most thin-skinned people on earth. It is their God-given right to rape or kill infidels on a whim, but we have no rights at all in their eyes".

It's so basic, but people still don't get this. Islam teaches that its believers are superior to infidels, no matter how modest the circumstances of the Muslims and how exalted the non-Muslim civilization. Muslims are in their own minds our eventual rulers worldwide.

Everywhere they are given the opportunity, they abuse non-Muslims with all kinds of trumped up grievances and exact punishments ranging from trying to ruin their livelihoods with complaints to Human Rights Commissions in the West all the way through numerous beheadings (Indonesian school girls, Pearlman etc.) to the genocidal rape, murder and displacement of black Africans in Sudan.

Nowhere on this earth where Muslims are the dominant power are people of other religions treated equally. They are spoken of pejoratively with terms such as "infidel" and "kaffir". Wherever Muslims gain absolute authority, Islam dictates three choices for what they see as their inferiors: conversion, death, or a serf/dhimmi existence. The British teacher was in Saudi on sufferance, a dhimmi, possibly well-paid but with no rights comparable to a Saudi citizen.

This is the purple elephant in the room that everyone ignores in their dealings with Muslim/Arab cultures including at Annapolis - that they are incorrigible supremacists. Their unjustifiable, and indestructible belief in their own superiority is hard-wired into them through their religion five times a day. They are strangers to humility and gratitude, also largely history illiterate as to the world contributions of civilizations other than their own.

Remember how grateful they were to the USA leading NATO for saving Muslim hides in Kosovo? Me either.

Sorry. Had a Freudian slip. Please change Saudi to Sudanese in my comment above, though it makes little difference really. Birds of a feather.

excellent write up siiras. You forgot to mention they have oil. They also have a method of communicating, manipulating, negotiating that the British obviously like and understand, and the state department.

Smokey the Bear says "Only You Can Prevent Terrorism- Grow Some Balls, Eurodhimmis!"

Naming a Teddy Bear 'Mohammed' is so demeaning, insulting, and humiliating, that the teacher and all the children should be beheaded and the school burned down.

238 - krypto

Too bad some Muslims regard a teddy bear being named Mohammad, but not terrorist murderers having that name, to be an insult to Islam.

There are no 'terrorist murderers' in Islam. They are shahids, martyrs, for the faith. They are following the Koran - "Kill and be killed for Allah". They are not killing innocent people, because if you are not Muslim, you are not innocent, by definition.

Bear with me, I can barely make sense of this.
There's Cartoon bears named Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, Baloo, Winnie the Pooh and the Berenstain Bears.
There's Gentle Ben, Sugar bear and Smokey the Bear.
There's Paddington and Arthur, Bernard and Theodore (teddy).
There's Gummi bears and the Chicago Bears (a Bear named 'the 'Fridge)
The only 'bear villains' I ever heard of were Br'er Bear from 'Song of the South' by Disney, and the Tu-95 Russian bomber which NATO called the Bear.
Now there's a new bear bad guy, 'Mobear', and another opportunity to smack these jihadi's right where it hurts them the most, in the funny bone!

So I take it it would be acceptable to have toys with sexual parts with a Muslim Ken doll with a bomb belt and 72 veiled virgins where the children can have the Muslim Ken doll screw the 72 dark haired Barbie virgins on a cloud.

I've heard several times that the reason people convert to Islam is that it's a simple religion - very few rules to remember. So how is it that people are always stepping in it and "insulting Islam" if it is so damned easy to understand?! Does EVERYTHING insult Islam? Why would you want to go through life being a member of the religion of the perpetually pissed off? How is it that when the penalty for an innocent slip up can cost you your life, Muslims still consider it "simple" and easy to follow? I mean, for Muhammed's sake, a man was just murdered for wearing trousers! How is it that Muslims fight amongst themselves over the interpretation of the rules, if they are so easy to understand? Someone please explain to me how the "simplicity" of this religion improves anyone's life ...?

The full name of the prophet of Islam was:
Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim.

Now if they named the teddy bear
Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim
then it would mean that there was an intended connection.

But Muhammad is one of the most common names given to newborn boys these days. So there is a connection with the most common Muslim name (the equivalent of John in this country), but no intended connection to
Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim.

What will they do next? Ban the letter "M" from being used to name a teddy bear?

regarding #249, the full name of the prophet of Islam, here is a reference:

re: #248 PeggyU

yes the ROPO the religion of the perpetually offended.

Yes if she had called him Moe would there still have been a problem?

Six months in jail? Public lashings? This is one of the most ridiculous pieces of news ive ever read. First of all, i seriously doubt six and seven year olds were trying to offend Islamic people seeing as the most popular kid in the class was named Muhammad and that's why they chose the name in the first place. If muslims dressed up a teddy bear named Jesus and took it everywhere (considering they didnt blow it up or anything), would christians get offended? I seriously doubt it

In the old days when the US and Great Britain had balls they would have threatened war, declared war, and sent in the army to save this woman.
