We Need To See More Of This: Muslim Group Slams The Sudanese Over The Teddy Bear Teacher

Maybe there is some hope left after all…..

Nov. 28, 2007, WASHINGTON, DC – The American Islamic Congress today slammed the Sudanese government for jailing a British teacher over a teddy bear’s name and demanded her immediate release from prison.
“We denounce this fabricated outrage,” stated Nasser Weddady, the organization’s Civil Rights Outreach Director. “The Sudanese government’s ridiculous case trivializes the feelings of Muslims around the world.”
Earlier today, the Sudanese government charged Gillian Gibbons, a teacher at Unity High School in Khartoum, with insulting religion and inciting hatred for naming a class teddy bear “Muhammad.” She faces up to 40 lashes and six months in prison.
“The sad legacy of the Danish cartoon riots is that we have to speak out immediately when extremists try to provoke clashes over trivial matters,” Weddady explained. “This is not about cultural sensitivities. There is no excuse for someone to be sent to jail and whipped over a teddy bear’s name. Ms. Gibbons needs to be freed at once.”

Outstanding. Salutes to them. Now if the sniveling pro-Islamist, anti-American buffoons at CAIR would follow suit in things like this then maybe the world could hear some rational, moderate Muslim voices for a change.
And I wouldn’t have to call CAIR sniveling pro-Islamist anti-Americans.
Thanks to Hot Air for this one.
