Wrong. Uneducated people in the language don't know how to pronounce it correctly = you.

It's a simple misunderstanding. But hanging her is a little harsh, let alone giving her lashes.

Hylian · 12-3-2007, 07:31 PM

I don't get some religions >_>.

**Xandertrax** · 12-3-2007, 07:56 PM

The amount of complete ignorance of Islam and this story is glaring in this topic.

First of all, the bear was voted to be named Mohammed by the class, because of the most popular kid in class.

Secondly, Mohammed is a sacred name in Islam. People name their children that in hope for channelling some of the spirit of the prophet. But it is extremely sacrelige to name anything that does not have a chance to honor him, such as pets, or teddy bears.

Also, STOP COMPARING IT TO CHRISTIANITY. Jesus and Mohammed are NOT in equal status.

This would probably equate to a class naming a teddy bear Hitler.

Admittedly, the reaction was a bit extreme. Execution and lashes are a bit much. But, you need to keep in mind that the press only publishes the radicals. The majority of the Islamic world thought it was rediculous, too.

The religion isn't going to hang her.

XCraigeX · 12-3-2007, 08:04 PM

I really detest cases like this - we live in a picky world...

Tbh i know a guy called Mohammed and he plays with himself during lessons - so you know....=/.

I just saw this at news report. This is so frickin' stupid.

Not to get off topic, but this reminds me of the whole "Lets not say Merry Christmas in public because it offends some people".

Happy Santa-Time, everyone!

Yeah, that reminded me of that, too. If you want to watch the vid that had that Happy Santa-Time comment, you can see it in my profile.

People who impose their opinion (i.e. religion) on other people need to stick their heads in plastic bags.

on another note i have dubbed my C:/ drive muhammad OH NO I AM ABOUT TO GET SHANKED

**revolutionomega** · 12-4-2007, 10:25 PM

First, I am not ignorant to the pronunciation of the Hispanic culture's title of Jesus. It still means Jesus, it's just the change in language.

Second, radicals in any system of government or religion could be dangerous. It's mainly due to interpretations on religious texts or corruption in each system. Also imposing an opinion is stupidity, however, stating said opinion isn't automatic state to be vastly out-casted and criticized by another opinion.

Basically it boils down to people being psychotic morons who believe that having a politically correct name for a stuffed animal is worth killing a woman over. Although, if you look at the culture (which is COMPLETELY different then ours) women rank very low on the totem pole. They're abused/mistreated all the time. It's like the debate I used to always hear in highschool from my history teachers. "If you lived during slavery, and were raised believing black people were below you, would you STILL believe that slavery was wrong?" Of course everyone is going to say "DUH SLAVERY IS BAD I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!!" But you can't say that. You were raised in an era/area that taught you to understand equality. These men that want this to happen so badly, were raised in a part of the world where women are second class citizens. If we were raised there, we might have the same view they do. I'm NOT saying that I'm for her being killed, just saying open your minds to what the others might be thinking.

Exactly. The basis of most religions is the same... Someone very close to me happens to be muslim, and it isn't the religion that breeds all of this crap as so many like to think.

wwwJ4mmYcouk · 12-5-2007, 04:16 AM

You do realise she has been pardoned and is back in Britain...

OrganisM · 12-5-2007, 04:36 AM

Who would have ever thought of such a thing happening in Sudan? I hear it's a great place for the kids. Particularly the Darfur region. I was planning on vacationing there. It's worth checking out; I hear genocide is all the rage in those parts.

lol... its not like you get a foot and a hand cut off for stealing, or the death penalty for trying to convert someone from a muslim to a christian!

Maid · 12-5-2007, 10:41 PM

Umm so they ignore stuff* going on in Darfur and wanted a teacher executed. Nice priorities there.

Jesterblue · 12-5-2007, 11:17 PM

I have to say wow...

Hey you know whats wierd? I live next door to 4 people named that, the father and his 3 sons are all named Muhammad. I asked one of the sons if his mothers name was Muhammad and got a glare >_<

Let's turn to Avenue Q for information on this one:

If we all could just admit that we are racist a little bit, and everyone stopped being so PC, maybe we could live in harmony.
