Muhammad The Killer Bear

Just in case you aren't convinced as to how insane Muslims are here's another horror story to enlightened you.

In Khartoum, Sudan British school teacher Gillian Gibbons was sentenced to 15 days in jail for allowing her second graders to name the class teddy bear Muhammad. Not satisfied with jail time some Sudanese are calling for Ms. Gibbons' execution. That's right, Muslims want this woman killed over a teddy bear.

Of course, Muslims will say that the issue isn't about a teddy bear but about "insulting" Islam, the teddy bear just being the object delivering the insult. But how, exactly, does it insult Islam to name a lovable toy after the Prophet? Couldn't that encourage children to associate Muhammad and Islam with all things good? If the kids in Gibbons' class had named a stuffed pit bull after Muhammad it might, might, be understandable if Muslims took offense, but a teddy bear? C'mon!

Muhammad is the most popular boys' name in the Muslim world. How many men named Muhammad live disgraceful lives? How many are drug dealers, rapists, wife beaters, or child molesters? Isn't that a much greater insult to Islam than naming an inanimate object, which can harm no one, after Islam's founder? Here's a suggestion for all you mad Muslims out there: if you really want to protect your religion's rep, stop naming your kids Muhammad and STOP DEMANDING A WOMAN BE KILLED OVER A TOY!!!!

Let it Begin with the Muslims

Land for peace. That catchy ditty has been played at least since Jimmy Carter negotiated the "peace" treaty between Egypt and Israel back in the '70's. The idea behind it is that the Palestinians--and other Arabs/Muslims--will love Israel if only she would give them just a little land for a state of their own. Really, that's all the Palestinians are asking for. Just a little land for (just a little) peace. Well, I say that if "land for peace" is such a good thing let the Muslims start it.

You see, the largest ethnic group in the world without a state of its own is NOT the Palestinians but the Kurds. The Kurds number at least 30 million, scattered over five countries: Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Russia. As you can see, four of the five countries are Muslim, like the Kurds themselves. If Muslim countries are so agrieved over the Palestinians not having their own country, shouldn't they be even more agrieved that the 30 million strong Kurds don't have one? Don't bet on it. Not only are the four Muslim countries not sympathetic to the Kurds, they have violently persecuted them for ages. And since the Kurds and their persecutors are all Muslim, the only reason for the oppression has to be racial hatred.

The Kurds are ethnically, culturally, and linguistically distinct from the people amongst whom they live. It's obvious that the non-Kurds hate their Kurdish neighbors, so why not try the solution always proposed for the Israelis? Why don't Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran give up chunks of their land to form a Kurdish state? After all, they'd be helping out their Muslim "brothers" instead of shooting them. Everybody benefits. The Turks, Syrians, Iraqis and Iranians would be rid of a troublesome minority and the Kurds would have freedom from racial oppression PLUS the dignity that comes with being a sovereign people. Sounds like a win/win situation to me. So the next time you hear Muslims whining that terrorism is caused by the Palestinian problem, ask them what their solution to the Kurdish problem is. Then tell them that, like charity, trading land for peace should begin at home.
