Muslims want teacher executed over a teddy bear

A British teacher, Gillian Gibbons, went to teach this year at a school in Sudan that has, for almost 100 years, been run along the lines of Christianity. Not long after the school year began, Gibbons was arrested and charged with “insulting Islam’s Prophet Mohammed.”

When Gibbons went to teach at Unity, which is but one of several British schools in the country, she taught in classrooms hidden behind tall brick walls that shut out, what one news outlet described as the dust of everyday Sudanese life. The walls serve another purpose, according to various media reports, which say it serves to transport visitors into the shady courtyard of an Oxford or a Cambridge University-type setting or that of an English private school.

Because most of the students come from uppity — you know, well-to-do Sudanese families — most likely the “snobs of Sudan,” because the families want their children to get the best education money can buy. Just as long as a few conditions are met: the children don’t leave Sudan for one of the world’s developed countries to attend a quality school, but also that all sorts of Islamic rules are followed by the non-Muslim teachers who are brought in to teach.

First, if you’re bringing in teachers to provide the best education possible, you’re likely not bringing in your own people: Muslims. That said, the people you do bring in are going to teach according to the standing guidelines of the school. Those guidelines, if the host country wanted to impose some sort of “state-based religion” rules on the school, ought be spelled out carefully in the rules of the school. For instance, if teachers at the school must bow down and kiss the shriveled or turned-to-power rump of the now long-dead Mohammed, it ought be spelled out in a handbook for teachers new to the school. If the “rules” aren’t written down in advance, you can’t make them up as you go along.

Oh, wait! Sudan is one of those Islamic-ruled countries, and has been under thumb of Sharia law since 1991. It’s a country where drinking alcohol has been banned, but also a country where women must wear scarves covering their head.

Sudan is also a place where convicted criminals are routinely flogged or executed, which, if used in America, could possibly help lower the rising crime rates, but too many bleeding hearts in the U.S. would put a halt to it before the first murdered was even flogged, saying, “It’s cruel” or “It’s inhumane” to flog or execute someone who killed at least one other person in any manner.

Mind you, Sudan is primarily a Muslim-based country, but, overall, Sudan is but a dot on the map if you look at the world as a whole. Sure, the size of a country doesn’t matter, at least when it comes to ruling its own people, but when you bring people to your country to teach, you are supposed to be some kind of gracious host. I guess that’s a concept lost and wasted under Sharia thinking.

If Gibbon’s crime — allowing a seven-year-old girl to bring her teddy bear to school so other students could democratically vote on a name for the stuffed animal, and then allowing the students to choose to name the stuffed bear after the most popular boy in the class, Muhammad, then yes, this woman is guilty. She is guilty of teaching a few lessons at once. Such as how to vote. That’s a horrible thought, I guess, in a country under Sharia rule. Since all students, male and female, had equal footing, that too is probably a horrible offense. Good. It’s a shame Gibbons didn’t order a roast pork sandwich for lunch the day of her trial.

Gibbons was arrested this past September, not long after her arrival in Sudan, and shortly after the school year began. Since her class was getting ready to study the behavior and habitat of bears, she asked that her students bring a teddy bear to class as the focus of the class study, according to various media reports quoting her colleagues.

It was a seven-year-old girl who brought in a stuffed bear — shown at the top of this post in a photo next to one of Gibbons — and the class voted on a name for the bear. Among the candidate names not selected were Hassan and Abdullah. Instead, it seems the class voted to opt for Muhammad, the first name of the most popular boy in the class. Funny, but that isn’t the name of the so-called prophet many irate Muslims in Sudan are literally up in arms about.

An official at the school said, “No parents or teachers complained because they knew she had no bad intention.”

It seems that parents of a student in a different class made a stink about the issue, but, most likely, only after a disgruntled member of the staff used the non-issue to cause trouble.

Out of all of this, it seems one member of the school council, I suppose it is akin to a school board here in the U.S., a person named Bishop Ezikiel Kondo, who serves as chairman. Kondo said: “The thing may be very simple, but they just may make it bigger. It’s a kind of blackmail.”

Kondo was making reference to the fact that Gibbons was teaching — and is jailed — in the same town whose populace raged for days, expressing anger in demonstrations about a year ago. In those demonstrations, they chanted and raised all kinds of hell, but also made accusations of blasphemy about cartoons of the Islamic prophet that appeared in Danish newspapers.

Many Islamic believers — Muslims — feel they can demand “rights” that all others must forget about. It seems they feel “Mohammed” cannot be depicted in cartoons, illustrations, or any other kind of image, but also have other “beliefs” that they say others must respect. By the same token, many Muslims refuse to respect — in fact, go out of their way — to let the world know they will not be happy until everyone is either a Muslim or dead. That is a cult leading to nothing more than death, not a religion of love, as many want it called.

Then again, don’t forget that federal prosecutors have also named the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a plot to fund the terrorist group Hamas, and that several of the group’s leaders have been convicted on terror charges since 9/11, and that one of its founders has reportedly declared that America should be governed by Islamic Sharia law.
