A blog named Muhammad
So, a teacher in Sudan let her class name a teddy bear. They named it Muhammad. For this, she was charged with blasphemy and initially sentenced to get lashes and some jail time. Now, that’s bad enough. But it gets better. On the way to work, I heard some British official say that he felt the punishment was too severe. Err, no. The fact that in some backwoods shithole, blasphemy is still a crime that warrants beating someone is severe. And, the calm locals in the Sudan, say that the punishment isn’t severe enough and want her executed.
This is why I can’t take multi-culti hooey seriously. There is simply no way at all that I can respect this in any form. And so much for tolerance because I can’t tolerate it either.
Some smarty pants decided to sell a teddy bear named Muhammad on EBay. Ebay, no doubt fearing for their lives, pulled the listing. You know, like Comedy Central did with South Park.
In honor of that, I declare today Name Your Blog Muhammad Day.
Update: Yeah, that was kinda dickish. I mean the graphic.

Help me with something, when Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali, that was okay? I don’t recall an Islamic death threat then.
So many damn rules, a boxer can be named Muhammad but not a teddy bear? What if the teddy bear was black and had boxing gloves and little teddy bear boxing trunks?
I think the clerics are just fucking with everyone. It doesn’t make any sense. Some kind of cosmic joke on all of Earth.
But stop for a second and consider this, these are the people that the Democrats want to “reason” with. Contemplate that.

These were seven-year olds and they have to live there. They might have found themselves on the wrong end of a stone’s throw from their insane compatriots if they had gone around calling a teddy bear Mohammed. Which is to say, that this lady is a bad teacher.

I bet the guys at South Park are all over this.

Naming another man Mohammed seems to be considered like an act of piety and respect. Naming anything else apparently is considered by some to be an insult.
Name your blog Mohammed day? Well, if that is dickish, then to celebrate out culture, how about we just have a name your blog “Jesus” day to show that we can do it (and insult our own intelligence at the same time, but not suffer calls for death), or have a “Crusades” day? Now the crusades aren’t really a part of our culture, but we sometimes get the guilt by long ago and round about association for them anyway, so I say go for it!

Yep, I used to work with a guy named Mohammed. I never understood the difference, never cared enough to find out.

“A man has the right to change his name to vatever he vants to change it to. And if a man vants to be called Muhammad Ali, godammit this is a free country, you should respect his vishes, and call the man Muhammad Ali!”
“His mama named him Clay, I’m gonna call him Clay”

Doesn’t anyone but me realize the teacher didn’t name the damn teddy bear, muslim children did.
They should be executed. I know it’s harsh, but Hell it is also fewer muslims. I’m tired of the perverted, pussy fearing, little boy sodomizing, child murdering, terrorist sonsofpigs.
But I respect their culture, and feel we should reason together in a language they respect. Oh wait, I already said that.

You know, if I ever get a pot-bellied pig as a pet, I am going to name it Muhammad.
