Crowds of people have marched in the Sudanese capital Khartoum to call for a tougher sentence for a UK teacher jailed for insulting religion.
Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, was jailed for 15 days on Thursday after allowing children in her class to name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Protesters have called for her to be shot.

The void between Islam and Christianity has never been greater. The animosity grows daily. I fear that this will be our downfall.

The more and more I read about the religion wars, that is taking place in this world...the more and more I take the "Book of Revelations" to heart.

Personally, and this is just a thought, I think it's an anti Western sentence, not so much directed at the lady in question.

Islam is not like this as far as I know, just like Christianity is not about Inquisitions, Crusades, two world wars and various other misdemeanours.

Not good though...very unpleasant.sigh

Wo, he's noble. I know one guy there too and he told me it's very hard living there because you can't even look at the women wrong or you're done for!

He can't be anywhere near his house when the maid's cleaning.


A sad situation! help

I think so too...

Don't worry about the Chinese or Russians. At the end of the day, huge sums of money are at stake and their respective wealth will increase hugely...pragmatism will reign there I feel.

But Islamic radicals...that's a different story all together. They don't care about anything but their twisted view holliness and the resulting jihad.

Expect anything from Bush...he's got nothing to loose.

And don't forget, Tony Blair is still involved behind the scenes...anything could appen.blues

Are you forgetting that Islam is a religion of peace? They keep trying to convince us of that anyway. FYI; Muhammad's wife was 6 years old when he married her. Men of Islam are supposed to emulate him.

Saudi law is not totally Islamic though Leo...it was just a peculiarity within their culture and system of law.

Yes, it's true. Also when one muslim nation has bad leaders they tend to incite the other leaders of muslim nations. They follow suit not because they are doing it in the name of religion but because they all believe they should be like 'others' like them.

I don´t think it is the Islam The Islam isn´t a religion of violence.
I think the governments of these country's reinterpret the Koran for their own purposes and to hold their power over the country.
That make they no others as many monarchs in history of Christianity, which had took the bible and used their words for wars.
The Christians had a few century's ago the woman downtrodden too. And trough the inquisition no one could have an own free opinion.

I think we make often the faults to mix up the mistakes of governments with Islamic religion. I know many Islamic people who adjudge these governments for the things.

In Christianity you can also find fanatics, in the past and also today. But that dosn´t makes the whole Christians bad.

I for myself was also shocked about the woman who get lashed. And I had also made a tread about it. But I was shocked about the laws of a country, not of the religion, because I know that the Islam isn´t a religion who finding these things good.
Just my opinion.
