A Teddy Bear Named Muhammed

hopefully you people know all about the situation that was playing out in Sudan, over the English school teacher who crapped in her chili over the name of a teddy bear. Well at first she was sentenced to 40 lashes and 15 days in jail. Then it was 15 days in jail and deportation. Then it was time served and she is home.

OK this played out on the news and brought the "fanatics" to the screen. They kept pushing the fact that it was prinary kids she was dealing with and the population went berserk. It was used to reinforce the ias on the media against Muslims. Yes, they over-reacted on this and looked rather foolish in doing so. But that was the spin they wanted to portray.

my question is, she was sent to a country to teach and she had NO knowledge of the customs, religion or culture? The company that sent her did not go into specifics on the do's and don'ts of a foreign country?

I say that the people involved were f*cking stupid! The school had been there since 1902 and no one knows the culture of thye country. Please! If you are gonna be STUPID, you have got to be strong. STUPID can be fatal!
