Sudan Muslims want Teacher Executed for Allowing Kids to Name Mascot Mohammed

[quote=“Nikuk,post:10,topic:39503"”]

chalk another one up for God.

My question is: Aren’t there islamic people whose given name is Mohammed? how is that not a slight?

i can understand being pissed off about a “pet” or “toy” being blasphemous… though execution is a bit much. I mean, the catholics are rediculous about blasphemors too… but not to such extremes.

Meh… if you’re going to live in the vatican - you should be aware that you’re not gonna have cheesburgers on Fridays.

Exactly. And not all that long ago in history, it was punishable by death to be blasphemous regarding the christian religion. Think about how developed the “Western world” is compared to the Middle East. It only makes sense that they will be behind in adaptation of laws and beliefs.
