Don't call a teddy bear Mohammed...

Why would anyone voluntarily go to work in Sudan? Granted, Liverpool's hardly Utopia, but Sudan? FFS? It surely can't be for the money, so it must be out a sense of philanthropy. I wonder how she feel towards those she sought to help, now?

A lesson to other like-minded do-gooders; leave the savages well alone.

It's another case of religious intolerance.
The north of the country is Muslim with the south being Christian dominated.
Or, again it might be a case of one parent taking revenge on the teacher for not looking after their child in the way that they wanted, although an awful lot of people have to be involved in the revenge if this were the case.

Plain racial preducide maybe? Oh no sorry, it's another country, not the UK, so that can't be the reason.

are we still talking about sudan?

[wobbegong]

That sounds about right . . .

For allowing the muslim children in her class to name a teddy, she has been formally charged in Sudan with insulting religion, inciting hatred and showing contempt for religious beliefs. FFS!

How about "making a minor, inconsquential social gaff", instead?

I'm guessing the Sudanese government will make a show of pardoning her at the last minute in return for "a favour" from HMG.

Can we ask for it back?

In 2007/08, the UK has committed £114 million in assistance to Sudan

They have no option. Unchallenged breaches of your IP can end up with you losing control over your IP, childrens' hospice or no. No room for sentimentality in multi-billion dollar business.

That's right Kill 'em all!!!

This is not the way to ease fears about islam being an intolerant faith. Granted that all faiths have their zealots who seize on any opportunity to foment trouble but to have them dominate the judiciary of any country is a sign that that country is ripe for a takeover by the zealots.

In the Good Old Days, Palmerstone would have sent a Gunboat.

That'd teach 'em.

Didn't do a lot for General Gordon though.

Where's Flashman when you need him!

They have as much right to expect their laws to be obeyed as we do.

We would be up in arms if one of them came over here and flouted our laws.
