Errol well said ....

But I honestly thought the name Mohammed was a sort of foreign name for Michael, or something like that..............
Silly old me, eh. :-(

Linda I agree wholeheartedly. She actually got off very lightly and we have no right to meddle in other country's legitimate affairs, irrespective of whether we are in agreement or not.
If their constitution says certain things then we have no right to dictate otherwise.
As far as the BNP argument is concerned, that is on a loser right from the start. Again, this is something in another country with different rules, regulations and opinions. Some countries will criticise Britain for its treatment of Hamza - are we not reacting in the same way. She was in a foreign place and did something that offended the nationals.
I am not saying I agree but I am certainly saying that we should not try to apply British values and laws to other states.

Yes it appears it was getting aid under false pretences

Latest news is that the teddy has been released on bail pending FURther investigations..

I agree with Twizzle.xx

When in Rome.....!

It is a shame we don't do the same over here and deport all those from abroad who fail to comply with our laws.

I feel the Foreign Office have done a very good job of diffusing the whole sorry situation and Sudan has saved face by just 15 days and deportation. Who knows what the repercussions would have been if she had been publicly flogged.

And no I don't think she should have arrested for what was an innocent naming of a teddy bear. It wasn't meant as an insult, but it highlights the difference in thinking of Christian people and SOME Islamic people.

Linda

i think its an absolute disgrace

and our parlament need to act NOW

to get his lady home and safe

grrrrr dont get me strated on the pc brigade

no wonder all the foreigners

are over here

this is a outrage

but its ok for them to burn our flag

and murder our aid workers

Roxanne with all due respect this innocent lady could have had 40 lashs , is that not suffering , so we let one of our citizens suffer in Jail but thats alright cos we are British and we dont mind as long as the rest of the world do'snt suffer ,

Great

and then If we do withdraw our aid Innocents will suffer,I dont think thats an option personally.and I dont think the lady who is in Gaol would want that to happen either.

I agree twizzle very well said.
absolutely stupid

I was disgusted at the outcome of this farce,
15 days in prison and deportation for "daring" to name a teddy bear after a pupil. So much for being a multi cultural world.

It is a well known fact that the Sudanese are one one of the worst blasphemous Muslim countries going , yet here they are trying to act like the big tough religious no nonsense country. Well hows about responding by withdrawing all aid that we give them which runs into millions , withdraw all english personal and let them live by the Sharia law properly and see how they get on

Twizzle

Hmmm soon we will just have to call them 'bear' - the Teddy will be banned in case men named Edward are offended *rolls eyes*

(ooops - no offence Ed lol _)

Ed Zep,what can they do? its not in the governments power to do anything.

Yeah Roxanne I am so pleased as well before we get all stuff about if that happened here blah blah.....which is normally down the silly billys PC brigade...

Thats true Anne,Here In Spain the name Jesus is very common for boys!
I have 3 teddies I think I will call them.
