Justice by and for a Joke
Two stories today caught my eye:
A British schoolteacher has been arrested in Sudan accused of insulting Islam's Prophet, after she allowed her pupils to name a teddy bear Muhammad.
A gang-rape victim in Saudi Arabia who was sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jail.
It's no surprise that these things have happened when you think that these countries are obsessed with upholding the name of some fictional character called Mohammad, but to take it to the point of making naming a teddy-bear and and being gang-raped a crime beggars belief.
How come we're wasting our time in Iraq when it's Saudi that "supplied" most of the 9/11 terrorists and is the country most in need of regime change?
