They picked the name Mohamed.  She was promptly arrested, thrown in jail, and told that she could get 40 lashes for such a heinous crime.<\/p>\n<p>She was trying to teach the kids about animals and their habitats.  Instead, she showed the world about animals and their religion.<\/p>\n<p>She was found guilty of insulting religion and sentenced to 15 days, without a beating, and that&#8217;s where most news coverage ends.  But there&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2007\/WORLD\/africa\/11\/30\/sudan.bears\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">more to the story<\/a> &#8211; a thousand Muslims, with hate in their eyes and swords in their hands, protested, demanding that she be <em>executed<\/em>.  Over a teddy bear.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, we are told, Islam is a religion of peace.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we haven&#8217;t heard much about the Saudi woman who was raped by seven men and sentenced to 90 lashes for being out with a male who wasn&#8217;t related.   When she complained about it publicly her sentence was raised to 200 lashes and six months in jail.<\/p>\n<p>She should have just run away.  Then she&#8217;d only be getting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.khaleejtimes.com\/DisplayArticleNew.asp?xfile=data\/middleeast\/2007\/March\/middleeast_March388.xml&amp;section=middleeast&amp;col=\" target=\"_blank\">60 lashes<\/a> to go with her six months.<\/p>\n<p>And still we are told that Islam is a religion of peace that highly respects women.  So respectful that they&#8217;ve published <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/story\/0,2933,307680,00.html\">a guide<\/a> that shows the proper way to beat your women.<\/p>\n<p>Why do so many of them despise women?  Because those evil women <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/story\/0,2933,306658,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">distract men from their prayers<\/a>.    A spiritual leader in Malaysia says men are &#8220;abused&#8221; by seeing them.  &#8220;We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen,&#8221; Nik Abdul Aziz said. &#8220;Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If their faith is so fragile it can be damaged by a glimpse of a woman wearing something sexy, we may have a new, cheap weapon in the war on terror.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.victoriassecret.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Victoria&#8217;s Secret<\/a>  will send free soft core porn to anyone requesting it.  Let&#8217;s have them print up a few hundred million extra copies every month and air drop them over Muslim countries and communities.
