Why Islam is a tricky situation, politically speaking

The New York Times (Friday November 30, 2007, A-3) reported today how a British school teacher has been sitting in a jail cell in the Islamic nation of the Sudan.

Her crime?

She teaches 7 year olds in the Sudan and had the brazenness to actually name the class teddy bear "Muhammad."

In the U.S. we can sell cabbage patch dolls at Christian bookstores that are modelled after Jesus Christ, but apparently the prophet Muhammad must be rolling over in his grave that a teddy bear has been named for him!

Oh, and by the way this school teacher will now be deported back to Britain and this is the lenient administration of Shariah (Islamic Theocratic) Law. Her maximum penalty under Shariah Law would have been 6 months in jail and 40 lashes.

Well, folks, I am an American. Whether Islamic, Jewish, Christian (or even Buddhist!), we are protected by our secular government whose Constitution says that Congress shall make NO law creating an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise of religion!

So, go ahead and buy some stuffed baby Jesus dolls for your kids at Christmas! Jesus Christ will actually like it . . .

Love in Jesus Christ,
