In Sudan, a British school teacher allowed her students to name a teddy bear "Mohammed". She has been convicted of insulting Islam and given 15 days in jail. It could have been worse, but to westerners, the entire thing is ridiculous.

But now "hundreds of angry protesters" are demanding she be executed.

And people wonder why everyone else thinks Muslims are insane.

But then we get this report:

The president of Sudan pardoned the teacher, and she has been released. I'm not sure what the British government promised the Sudanese. And the woman served 9 out of her 15 days, which is just insane in itself. But she should be on her way back to Britain soon.
