Teddy Bear Jihad
I am so relieved that the Sudanese have been invited to Annapolis. After all, we need sane, level-headed, diplomatic voices in these trying times.
Okay, so the Sudanese are guilty of genocide. What're you gonna do, it's their culture. This is the age of multi-culturalism, right?
We'll just have to be tolerant of Khartoum's official death squads, the Janjaweed, who have murdered somewhere between 200 to 400,000 non-Arabs in the past few years. The Janjaweed have also cast a million non-Arab Sudanese into refugee camps where untold numbers are dying on an daily basis. Accurate body counts are hard to come by. The Janjaweed are not exactly methodically Nazi-like in their paper-work. Why? Because most of them are illiterate Muslims. But they do know how to murder and they do know how to mutilate and rape. They have also kidnapped an untold number of women and female children as sexual slaves.
Anyway, the Western world protests feebly, (not the Muslim world, what a shock) but gives most of its attention to, who else, the so-called Palestinians.
Why?
1. Unrelenting Arab terror. If you murder innocent men, women and children that makes your grievances, er, legitimate.
2. Oil from our Saudi friends. If you have endless buckets of black gold, that makes your intolerable religion, er, tolerable.
3. Propaganda from, well, everybody. If you tell lies often enough, well, Julius Streicher looks like an amatuer compared to Al Jazeera, Al Reuters, Al AP, Al New York Times.
4. Fashion. The so-called Palestinians are, well, a fashion accessory for the always fashion conscious left, the place to be for civilized glib academic Jew-haters. Even the lefties have come to realize it.
Meanwhile, back in the happy-go-lucky Islamic Republic of Sudan, the religion of peace marches on and we wait for Peace Now, Tony Judt, or Henry Siegman to blame the Jooz for the Teddy Bear Jihad.
A British teacher is facing 40 lashes in a Sudanese jail if convicted of insulting Islam's prophet by letting children name a teddy bear Mohammed.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
" ... A British teacher is facing 40 lashes in a Sudanese jail if convicted of insulting Islam's prophet by letting children name a teddy bear Mohammed. ... "
the really sad thing, is that she gave up a comfortable position in England to go and teach underprivileged children,
and in her mind, it may even have been a tribute of sorts,
to have children cuddle a Mohammed doll
it makes you *want* to insult their arrogant intolerance,
maybe a new line of Mohammed vibrators ...

There was a part in a Nicolas Cage flick (forgot the name) where he was an arms dealer and during a sale where he's getting diamonds in return for guns, his brother sees a militia rounding up and killing women and children for fun.
Sudan reminds me of that movie; but it's real life.
Oh well......

And even sadder is that there are plenty of underprivileged Muslim children right at home in England. No need to travel to Sudan.

"Teddy Bear Jihad"
lgf reports that the teacher has been charged:
the UK has a chance now to respond
maybe a squadron of attack helicopters and Harrier jets over sudanese airspace,
and a few SAS commando teams
awaiting a 'verdict' before they take final action ...
it is heartbreakingly tragic that the British Empire would even contemplate taking no action and allowing the caning to happen ...
governments should protect their citizens like parents protect their children,
would any sane parents just stand by and allow their children to be 'beaten' just so they should be 'liked' by other parents ?!?
if the British want to be 'gracious'
they can magnanimously offer the sudanese a last chance to save face,
and 'deport' the lady back to England unharmed,
before they turn the sudanese landscape into superheated glass
