Innocent and Ignorant. I'm surprised at her lack of judgement and naivity, though I think she is clearly a nice woman who meant no offense. I wonder if the secretary is a spiteful little minx who had her claws out for this poor creature. I hope the sly little witch loses her job pronto. |

I don't think it was particularly ingorant, for a start she didn't do the naming but she is taking all the flack. yesterday thousands marched in Khantoom calling for her to be shot, ignorant is a word i'd used to describe these people, amoung other things. I wonder where the lynch mob is for the children who voted on the name? There has obviously been a concerted effort by some elments in Sudan to blow all this out of proportion. I'd like to say we stop giving them aid, but that all goes to dafaur and not khantoom, so it would only further serve the interests of their government. |

Your statement is a good example of the differences that exist today.
Good work. |

Yup.
She was neither ignorant or guilty. She was (I suspect no more) naive about islam and muslims. Most Westerners have no idea how backwards the mindset of the vast majority of the world's muslims is. The koran oozes with hate and calls to violence on virtually every single page and idiot naive Westerners act all surprised when the people who believe the book do as it says.
I suspect most are waking up, however. |

I predict there will be some 'politically correct' responses to this.
F*ck politically correct. Religion is a horrible thing. Islam is one of the most horrible. Someone can say that they 'have many friends that are Islamic', but there is a difference between being born into a Muslim family and embracing all the *beep* Islam dictates.
Call me what you want. |

I'm sorry but this woman is an arrogant little *beep* if there ever was one.
1) Brits are fully educated Dhimmis. Making this kind of mistake as a well trained Dhimmi is beyond excusable.
2) Sudan = Nazi Germany. There is a full borne genocide going on in Sudan and she decided to go to the Capital Khartoum/Berlin and train the elite children.
Shes beyond dumb, beyond reason and beyond comprehension. They can have her. |

Sudan pardons 'teddy bear' row teacher Mon Dec 3, 3:37 AM ET
Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir on Monday pardoned a British woman teacher jailed for 15 days for insulting religion and she will be released in an hour, a presidential advisor told AFP.
"She was pardoned thanks to the mediation of Lord Ahmed and Baroness Warsi. She will be released in about an hour," Mahjoub Fadl Badri told AFP.
A Sudanese court on Thursday jailed Gillian Gibbons to 15 days in prison for insulting religion by naming a teddy bear after the Prophet Mohammed at the exclusive English school where she taught in Khartoum.
Two British Muslim peers, Lord Nazir Ahmed and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, from the upper house of parliament, were on Monday meeting Beshir at the Republican Palace after flying to Khartoum in order to secure a pardon.
The arrest and jail sentence of the 54-year-old mother of two sparked outrage in Britain and a diplomatic crisis between London and Khartoum, further straining relations already frayed over nearly five years of war in Darfur.
