Re: The Mohammed the Bear story

I name all my stuffed animals after religious figures. Moses the Bear, Jesus the Monkey, Mohammed the Koala, Allah and Jehovah the two Pandas, etc. Never once did I think that doing so would offend any followers of those religions.

Stupid cow.

Still.. big harsh punishment

Re: The Mohammed the Bear story

Well if your gonna call that the interpretation of, rather then the, religion then fair play. Otherwise religion is essentially boiled down to a belief that something created aw this jazz.

No wonder, everyone knows that Gil Gerard used a time machine, went back, and ejaculated into the primordial ooze.

i was gonna start a thread about this but i couldn't decide between titles: "get lashed" or "dare to bear"


i think i'm suffering an outbreak of tabloid

but yeah, obviously an innocent mistake and even if it weren't naming a bear shouldn't be so restricted and even if it is, maiming someone isn't a reasonable punishment.

so the real lesson here is "don't help educate children"

Re: The Mohammed the Bear story

WTF?
Quote:
The school has been closed until January for fear of reprisals.
Fellow teachers at Khartoum's Unity High School told Reuters news agency they feared for Ms Gibbons' safety after receiving reports that men had started gathering outside the police station where she was being held.

The school's director, Robert Boulos, said: "This is a very sensitive issue. We are very worried about her safety.


Fuck off.

It's just a fucking name, you cunts. You'd hurt a woman for giving a toy bear the same name as a prominent figure in your religious stories?

Just... please... fucking die, you pricks.


When the fuck are we as a race going to evolve past this bollocks?
