The Teddybear riots

yorkkev28 · 01-12-2007, 06:39 PM

Iv'e been watching the news with great interest recently. Unless you have been living in a cave you are probably aware of the story about a British female teacher who has been sent to prison for 15 days, for apparently insulting the prophet Mohammed by allowing her school kids to name a class teddybear Mohammed.
Now sometimes i think that here in Britian we have ridiculous politically correct ideas/ideals that defy logic and reason.
But for an angry mob to wave machete's, burn this woman's picture, and call for her to be executed over the name of a teddy is ludicrous.

What would happen if everybody worldwide went and bought a teddy and called it Mohammed. Would we all be executed?

This brought to you by Islam, the "Religion of Peace".

Right now, Islam does take the cake on insanity.
They won't assimilate into society, and for the most part, Western governments don't put up any stops. More than that, they cater to them, hence political correctness. The problem with political correctness is that it tries to not offend the minor groups, whilst angering everybody else. Look, people are going to get offended. I'm worried when people who don't intentionally offend someone or some group end up paying for it. Now, it would be different if this lady purposely intended to stir things up. People get less riled if you call there mother a whore than the perpetually angry Muslims when someone accidentally offends them.

I mean, it's not like this teacher went out and said "Muhammed is a pork-eating dog." or something. All I can say to her is get some tips from Salmon Rushdie on survival.

She named the teddy bear Mohammed but the Sudanese news probably says she has named the teddy bear Mohammed, got the children to dance around the teddy each morning waving flamed torches and then written the name Jesus on the bears chest in the ash from burned pages of the Qur'an.

My sister lives in Dubai and when that car tried to drive into Glasgow airport the Dubai news said there was a car accident in Glasgow (not near the airport) and the British are claiming its a suicide attack! Thats Dubai news! Who knows what its like anywhere else.
