British teacher sentenced in Sudan over teddy bear controversy

I think Shariah law and extremist behavior insults the Prophet Muhammad. Shariah law is teaching these children to be afraid of their religion,and creating a divide in which they will not be able to experience, let alone understand, a loving, compassionate and just God. I cannot image the trauma and guilt these small children will have to suffer after knowing their teacher, who is well liked, has been thrown in jail and will face a lashing for a class project, in which the name of the teddy bear was popularly voted on. Instead of teaching the children anything positive Shariah law is raising them to be bullies, and encouraging violence. No wonder so many kids growing up in extremist countries become terrorists or suicide bombers! There is no innocense or independant thought allowed. It is acceptable, even encouraged, to use violece, threats and intimidation to assert power and control over others. Survival becomes based on domination. Truth is, if these extremists did not have violence, they would not have power. Obviously, they don’t value education. They cannot relate or communicate to others. And they are afraid of a teddy bear. I don’t believe any honorable prophet would condone a religion based on violence and ignorance. I don’t believe any honorable prophet would allow a well-qualified, respected teacher to be jailed and beaten; effectively denying the next generation the education and skills they need to succeed. And I don’t believe any honorable prophet would want the streets to run with blood, Muslims killing each other, killing babies and innocent people in the name of “holy” war. What is the point of having religion when you are so willing to commit evil? Extremism and Shariah law is the real offense to Muhammed.
