Hypocrisy

Today in Khartoum , Sudan a British school teacher is trying to win her freedom from jail , because her students named a teddy bear she was using to teach a class Mohammad . A teddy bear . One her students named not her , and yet she must serve a 15 day jail sentence for it . I keep hearing from the Islamic community that there faith is one of peace and tolerance . Clearly they have a strange way of showing it . Now as of this writing the jail she's being held at a mob has now assembled , a mob demanding her death . It's funny but back in the mid 90s an artist in Chicago displayed a piece of work in which a cross with the figure of Christ on it was submerged in a 10 gallon fish tank filled with urine . The piece was called " Christ In Piss " and outrage Christians everywhere . Around this time last year another artist created a life size image of The Virgin Mary for display at a New York art exhibit . The image of Mary however was done in cow manure , and again Christians were outraged , yet despite these two instances you didn't see Christians taking to the streets demanding the deaths of the artist or anyone else who mocked there faith . Yet in this country you have secularist and atheist trying to remove God or Christianity from public view , believing that Christians are intolerant and our trying to establish there faith as that of the state . I'd love to see the secularist and atheist impose their views in some of these Islamic countries .
