An Insult to Intelligence

 by Vort1gern @ 02/12/07 - 20:50:51

15 Days in a Sudanese jail for letting some schoolkids calling a teddybear "Mohammed" and open demonstrations caling for the British teacher to be put to death.

I don't see anyone lining up to stone the children themselves for taking part in this "blasphemy", but isn't it all rather convenient to blame the West?

The Foreign Office and Government have been singularly crap in doing anyting about this, when they have the perfect negotiating tool for Sudan:

"Let her go or we stop selling you weapons".

What will they do without the means to butcher eachother? Worship of Allah might take a serious nosedive without the requisite level of gun-toting mayhem.

Perhaps if the competition had been "Name the Kalashnikov" people wouldn't have been so disgruntled.

And before we go getting all complacent, we were hanging people for shit like this only four hundred years ago . . . keep voting for people who listen to the Christian Fundmentalists and we'll be back in the Middle Ages before we know it. Science and Medicine . . . those poster boys of what we called "The Enlightenment" are already under attack.

If anyone's insulting Islam, it's the Sudanese authorities! :yes: :))

Seriously, how completely crazy can it possibly be?! :crazy:

Absolutely Ros'.

They're shown themselves to be ... complete and utter barbarians par excellence.

The Prophet of compassion and tolerance is surely turning in his Mecca grave.

Well said Vorty!

When I was four years old I had a tortoise called Moses. I never knew the danger I was in! Perhaps there's a little dungeon in Hell reserved for me for my blasphemic childhood...
