BBC: Teddy Bear Teacher “pardoned”

3 December 2007 · Comments 

The BBC has just reported that the British teacher at the centre of the Mohammed-named-teddy stupidity, Gillian Gibbons, has been pardoned by the Sudanese president al-Bashir after a meeting with two British muslim peers.

While I’m sure this will be seen in some circles (e.g. those of an islamic and/or political bent) as the Sudanese government being magnanimous, we shouldn’t forget that there wasn’t any crime in the first place.

Just because some muslims are so hyper-sensitive and thin-skinned — so much so that I’m surprised that their internal organs don’t spill onto the floor — that they take offence at the drop of a kufie, it doesn’t mean that us non-muslims should censor ourselves to pander to their insecurities, respect their beliefs or treat their fairy-tales as a reflection of reality. And the same goes for all other unproven myth-believers.

Gibbons has been pardoned, but she shouldn’t have been arrested and, most certainly not convicted, at all.

Now, al-Bashir, sort out the rest of that fucking mess of a country of yours, especially Darfur.

Thrawn has a challenge for us infidels: create a horribly drawn image of Islam’s prophet Mohammad, and display it in a public area. Yes, the Internet counts.

Here’s my entry:

Mohammed bans pork

It makes more sense than demon-haunted pigs…

There is nothing special about this date, even if a nasty volcano has just erupted.

What people seem to conveniently ignore:

It’s a purely human construct, and has no significance whatsoever, no matter which films are released today.
