Unfathomable
Muslims are marching in protest against the 15-day sentence received by the British teacher who allowed the children in her classroom to name a teddy bear Mohammed. They want her to be shot instead:
Mrs Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, was jailed by a court on Thursday after allowing children in her class to name a teddy bear Muhammad.
She was sentenced to 15 days for insulting religion, and she will then be deported.
The Foreign Office was in contact with Sudan's government overnight and is due to repeat demands for her release.
The marchers took to the streets after Friday prayers to denounce the sentence as too lenient.
The protesters gathered in Martyrs Square, outside the presidential palace in the capital, many of them carrying knives and sticks.
Marchers chanted "Shame, shame on the UK", "No tolerance - execution" and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad".
There are simply no words.
What a peace-loving, tolerant bunch of Mohammed-lickers.
Okay, won't be surprised if this comment doesn't make it out of the chute, Gail, but i just felt like blowing off a little steam...
