Sudanese officials have pardoned the British teacher who allowed her students to name a teddy bear "Mohammed" and released her into British custody. She is said to be leaving the area today for security reasons. Many "top" Islamic officials condemned the move, saying it would "weaken" the area's authority, while Muslims stood outside, brandishing swords and screaming, "There is no God but Allah" and "We will die for the prophet Mohammed." However, according to reports, most in the area said they would be satisfied with an apology.
As we reported before, the teacher allowed her class to name the teddy bear as part of a lesson on wildlife. 20 of the 23 students voted for Mohammed, which is the most popular boy's name in the area. No one but the murderous zealots are sure why it is blasphemous to name a teddy bear Mohammed and not a boy.
No one is sure why these same people are committing genocide in Darfur, either.
Every time something like this happens - and it happens about once a week, if not more - we hear about how "most" Muslims do not support this. I simply do not believe that. If "most" of anyone did anything, it would be obvious. And while the media definitely distorts reality, the simple fact of the matter is that this latest incident is just one in a long, long line of continuing incidents of a similar nature, and the Muslim community reacts the same way every time: a very visible percentage of them protest violently and what we are led to believe is "the silent majority" supposedly opposes it.
If the Islamic community wants us to keep buying this shit, then they need to change internally. The "silent majority" can no longer afford to be silent; they need to openly condemn these hardline terrorists and their fascism, or accept that their refusal to do so logically leads the rest of us to assume that this is representative of the Islamic faith, as a whole.
