It is sickening to me that the British government felt that they had to
suck up to the Sudanese government in order to secure the release of
British teacher and national, Gillian Gibbons. Talk about major wusses.
Of course, I really don’t think the American government these days
would have done much better. For some reason, everyone and their
neighbor feels they must capitulate to, placate, and otherwise calm the
raging Islamic community.
For the Oh so horrible “offense” of allowing students to name a teddy bear “Mohammed”,
a common name among Muslim men, Gillian Gibbons was initially sentenced
to a whipping with 40 lashes and then at least six months in jail. If
anyone knows anything about whippings, 40 lashes could have killed the
fifty-four year old woman. And six MONTHS of jail in a third world,
Muslim country?
All for letting some kids name a teddy bear Mohammed?
Has
ANYONE ever seen Christians flip out if a kid happens to name their
stuffed animal Jesus? How about Jews freaking out over a teddy named
Moses? Both groups might get upset, but none of
them would impose disgusting, harsh sentences on people. They might
moan and groan but that’s about it.
If
the Brits had had any guts whatsoever, they would have done what was
RIGHT. Tell the Muslims where they can shove it, get a military special
ops team in there to extract the teacher, and tell the entire world to
go sit and spin if they have a problem with that.
Personally, I am getting sick and tired of the world getting shoved around by Islam.
