The second line was meant to say "Does my bum look big in this?", and did so when I translated it back and forth. But now comes out as "Does My Bum look great". Close enough

A statement circulated by members of the Muslim Brotherhood - a multinational Sunni Islamist movement and the world's most influential political Islamist group - also condemned her actions.
"We want to express our boiling anger and deep sorrow about this case caused by this British teacher," it said.
"We want to tell you that the majority of Sudanese are Muslims so we love our Prophet Mohammed so much and we decry this careless way of dealing with our beloved Prophet."
One of its authors, 27-year- old Elsheikh El Nour, added: "If she made an innocent mistake and did not mean Mohammed the Prophet (when naming the bear) there is no problem (see, quite reasonable and tolerant)
"But if she did mean Mohammed the Prophet, she must die."
Absolutely troll. Muslims continually provide such a deluge of fuel to "The bigots" they could set the world alight. Naughty bigots.
Muslims - or muslim extremists? I come into contact with muslims in a daily basis at work, and have many friends who are muslim. None of them condone any of the extremist sh!te that undoubtedly does happen, but according to them, and in my experience also, the vast majority of muslims are decent, ordinary people who find this as disturbing as the rest of us. Trouble is normal, law abiding, decent muslims don't make good press.
My point is that for some people this kind of appalling decision just gives them more ammunition to attack. I think that's a shame cause the only way to stop all the bollocks that's happening these days is to get the ordinary muslims on side and defeat the extremists head on within their own culture, and that's not gonna happen when muslims continually feel excluded and victimised.

Are there any? Doesn't being a muslim by definition put your faith above the requirements of any law?
What, are there any decent law abiding muslims? You really trolling or taking the p1ss?
Faith is an interpretation of whichever book you want to reference. The extremist slant on the Koran gives rise to the politisized Islam that scares us all. There is an opposite, and in many places more widely held view within Islam (The one most in britain subscribe too) which runs counter to that extremist slant. That one doesn't get much oxygen in our press ...
