Teacher charged over teddy row
Nice way to confirm the simplistic stupidity of the religious mindset looking to find offence where none was intended. Even if offence was intended, does the Koran state a position on the naming of soft toys as part of a school project? Is the Islamic faith so shaky that a child's plaything could bring it crashing down in ruins?
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out the Sudanese religious authorities are more worried about the notion of introducing children to the concept of democracy and free choice by allowing them to vote on the name. What lesson are they teaching this class of seven year olds about tolerance?
Is there anyone, anywhere willing to say anything positive about religion when it encourages this sort of medieval idiocy?
