On a daily basis, newspapers put out articles that have me worrying what the world is coming to.
Today, was no exception.
In the Sudan, British school teacher Gillian Gibbons is being brought up on charges because she let the children in her class name a teddy bear Muhammad. Her charges range from inciting hatred, insulting religion and showing contempt of religious beliefs.

Hmm...Inciting hatred? With a teddy bear? Was it wearing a white hood or something??
According to the article:
"if found guilty of insulting religion, [Gibbons] could be punished with a whipping of up to 40 lashes, a fine or six months in prison."
Ok...Lets have a look at the facts, shall we? She let a child bring in a teddy bear and then asked her SEVEN-YEAR-OLD PUPILS to name said bear. The class voted on Muhammad. Then the kids took turns taking Muhammad home and had to write diary entries about what they did with the bear. The diary entries were collected in a book with the bear's picture on the cover, named, 'My Name is Muhammad.'" And because of that, Gibbons lost her job and is likely to get beaten to death, too...smh.
