From the “you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up” files, we find yet another great example…
AP reports: “A British teacher jailed for insulting Islam after allowing her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad was released Monday when Sudan’s president pardoned her, a British Embassy spokesman said.”
Well, amen! Hallelujah!
The conviction of Gillian Gibbons under Sudan’s Islamic Sharia law shocked Britons and many Muslims worldwide. It also inflamed passions among many Sudanese, some of whom called for her execution.Gibbons escaped harsher punishment that could have included up to 40 lashes, six months in prison and a fine.
Good thing she wasn’t gang raped for being seen outside with a male non-relative. That requires 200 lashes.
Where’s the outrage and condemnation from the more-civilized Western world? Oh. yeah. Of course. “Celebrate diversity.”
