"Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied
Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British
teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name
a teddy bear "Muhammad."

The protesters streamed out of mosques after Friday sermons, as pickup
trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Gillian Gibbons, the
teacher who was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and
deportation."

Are they nice guys because she only got 15 days in prison instead of
40 lashes?

Shouldn't the children be punished, since they were the ones who named
the teddy bear in the first place?

Apparently, the charge was something like 'inciting religious hatred'.
ISTM that the local imams were the most guilty of *that*.

....except that this charge is not valid if brought against
Islamic leaders, since their religious hatred is apparently
always correct.
