Can you say hypocritical... I knew you could

From the BBC web site

Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, has been sentenced to 15 days in prison after a day-long court hearing.



Mrs Gibbons had been accused on three counts of insulting religion, inciting hatred and showing contempt for religious beliefs.



She will be deported after serving her sentence in Sudan's capital Khartoum.




In September, Mrs Gibbons allowed her class of primary school pupils to name the teddy bea(sic) Muhammad.



The court heard that she was arrested on Sunday after another member of staff at Unity High School complained.



Sudan's top clerics had called for the full measure of
the law to be used against Mrs Gibbbons(sic) and lablled(sic) her actions part of
a Western plot against Islam.



She could have faced up to 40 lashes.

This is from a people who have killed in the name of their God innocent people by running airplanes into buildings. This from a people who claim they have no hate for Christians or Christianity. This is madness. I have a teddy bear in my office that I have not given a name yet. Hmmmmmmm.........

I guess sanity still does exsist...

FOXNews.com - British School Puts Three Little Piggies Back in Play - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "The three little piggies will live on after all.

A day after it was reported that a school in Britain would be changing characters in its play from the three little pigs to the three little puppies to avoid offending Muslims, the Honley Church of England Junior School changed its mind, and will use the pigs in the music festival."

Cooler heads must have won out on this one..

Political Correctness gone mad....

FOXNews.com - School Changes Name of Play to 'Three Little Puppies' to Avoid Offending Muslims - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Little Red Riding Hood ... Hansel and Gretel ... the Three Little Puppies?

That's what one British school renamed the traditional Three Little Pigs story for a school play, so as not to offend Muslims in the community, London's Daily Mail reported."

In this really necessary? Even the Muslim people think this one went to far. Oh Well!

Christians are Pigs??? So say the Muslims

BBC NEWS | UK | Education | School edits controversial books:

"A Saudi-funded Islamic school says it is removing from text books controversial passages which allegedly brand other faiths as 'worthless'.

The head of the King Fahad Academy in west London said pupils had never been taught from the chapters in question but that they would be removed.

An ex-teacher claims pupils were taught from books which describe Jews as 'repugnant' and Christians as 'pigs'."

King Fahad Academy director Dr Sumaya Aluyusuf said the academy promoted "inter-culturalism and inter-faith awareness".

She admitted the textbooks - translated for BBC Two's Newsnight programme by two independent scholars - were kept at the school.

But the translations were "taken out of context" and had "lost some of their meaning", she said.

So a book that translates that other religions are worthless and calls Jews apes and Christians pigs (and we know that pigs are forbidden in Muslim society so it is an ultimate insult) was mistranslated. Now I do not claim to speak their language, but how many ways can you put together the words for 'Christian' 'are' and 'pigs' and not have it be an insult.

In these days the cry is for tolerance of the Muslim people as they are misunderstood. Seems like they are not helping their plea for tolerance when they call me a pig!
