Bottom line, if you go to ANY foreign country, you'd better damn well know the laws of the land.

Reminds me of Moe Szyslak's response when he was challenged for not shouting drinks for the freed Iranian hostages: "Ah, they shouldn't have been there in the first place!"

That pretty much sums it up...
Gamma aries... love the comparison pics. Let me throw in my 2 cents. First, Mohammad, or however you choose to spell it, is a very common name in the muslin world... think John. Second, it might be illegal to name your dog or pig that way in the countries that apply sharia law, but there was no intention to be insulting in this case. Third, it could be argued, and in my opinion it would be really pushing it, that she was encouraging idolatry which is a big no no in Islam. Fourth, I think that this has much more to do with the other teacher probably being Sudanese and resenting this British(citizen of the country that used to treat Sudanese like less than human beings) teacher just going over there. I mean, it could have simply been solved by the other teacher or headmaster telling her that this was a no no and to name the silly bear something else. Argh.. I really wish religion belief,or the lack of it, would just simply be a matter of personal choice. The moment you try to impose one set of beliefs, based on contradicting stories, you always end up in trouble. Leave me be and go bang your head on the wall or floor or kneel or whatever else you want to do... just don't try to tell me that I should do it to... unless it involves a very attractive sex partner and no clothes... then I might consider it :D
Three minor points these people should think about:
a) Chapter 42, verse 11 of the Koran does say: "[Allah is] the originator of the heavens and the earth... [there is] nothing like a likeness of Him."
b) Mohammad is a very common name given by parents to Muslim male children.
c) The consequences of someone allowing a bear to be named Mohammad is the threat of 40 lashes.
In the words of a very learned man.....Doh!

Men get 7000 lashes for sodomy
TWO men in Saudi Arabia have been sentenced to 7000 lashes each after being convicted of sodomy and have received their first round of punishment in public, a newspaper said today.
The men, who were not identified, were meted out an unspecified number of lashes in public in the the southwestern city of Al-Bahah on Tuesday evening, the Al-Okaz daily reported.
They were then returned to prison where they are to be held until the full punishment is completed, the newspaper added, without saying how many sessions this would involve.
Homosexual acts are illegal in Saudi Arabia, which metes out strict punishment based on sharia, or Islamic law.
Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking can all carry the death penalty in the kingdom, with public beheading the common form of execution.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia's Justice Ministry has said a girl gang raped by seven men and then sentenced to six months prison and 200 lashes has confessed to cheating on her husband, in the kingdom's latest response to the negative international reaction to the case. "
"Confessed" is an interesting euphamism. I wonder how said confession was "extracted"?Quote:
