How hard is it to pick a teddy bear's name...
I have been holding off blogging anything about this. When her sentence was only 15 days in jail and deportation I was relieved. She could have easily received 40 lashes or worse. Did I just write that? There are places in the world where that is the possible punishment for letting children pick the name of a teddy bear? And after the lenient sentence she received thousands march in the street in protest armed with knives, axes and clubs? Can anyone in this country imagine such a scene? Can we imagine why we would ever want to be in this region? At least the Muslims living in the U.K. were quick to condemn the actions of the Sudanese. There is hope that we can live together in peace. Right?
