Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, protested Friday outside the presidential palace in Khartoum, demanding the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad.
In response to the demonstration, teacher Gillian Gibbons was moved from the women’s prison near Khartoum to a secret location for her safety, her lawyer said.
The protesters streamed out of mosques after Friday sermons, as pick-up trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Gillian Gibbons, the teacher who was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation.
"Imprisoning this lady does not satisfy the thirst of Muslims in Sudan. But we welcome imprisonment and expulsion," the cleric, Abdul-Jalil Nazeer al-Karouri, a well-known hardliner, told worshippers.
In an editorial, The Daily Telegraph said Miliband "has tiptoed around the case, avoiding a threat to cut aid and asserting that respect for Islam runs deep in Britain. Given that much of the government's financial support goes to the wretched refugees in Darfur and neighboring Chad, Mr. Miliband's caution is understandable."
Now, however, the newspaper said, Britain should recall its ambassador in Khartoum and impose sanctions on the Sudanese regime.
The British Government this week stated "We respect Muslims" - Like WTF???

STOP ALL THIS WEAK "WE RESPECT MUSLIM BULLSHIT", you are dealing with ignorant animals - YOU MUST impose economic sanctions, sever all economic aid and political ties with the Sudan and let them rot away in their own religious bullshit.
WE DO NOT, AND SHOULD NOT RESPECT PEOPLE THAT BEHAVE LIKE THE SUDANESE.
The UK and US and all other FREE governments must show this NOW.

POST your teddy bear pics and cartoons here, and perhaps it would be cool to send them to the Sudanese Embassy.
