    No. There is no choice whatsoever.

    There are no options. It's either believe and follow, or be punished.

    That's not a choice, that's an ultimatum.

    damn cate, yr eyballs going?


    but while yr at it, please tell us about ww2...and how the u.s. didn't do shit, ok?
    If you are going to talk WW2, you should probably broaden your knowledge of the events beyond watching Saving Private Ryan 10 times. Nobody would ever say that the US did shit, because it is widely acknowledged that they were instrumental in ending the war pretty quickly. However, to think that the US saved any Allied ass in that war is wrong. If I were American, I would be ashamed that it took so long to even get involved in the war.

    The Russians willingness to shovel Russian after Russian into the fire on the Eastern Front tied up most of the German army and allowed the Allies (you know, the countries who fought the Germans for the whole war and the US) some slack in their advance into Europe.

    I hate taking anything away from anybody who fought in that war, but it really irks me when even one stupid American thinks that they won the war by themselves.

    The point you make is ridiculous. You're turning this into a christianity vs islam argument when it's clearly a democracy (freedom of speech) vs theocracy/dictatorship (no freedom of speech) problem. If we weren't so quick to oppose our beliefs with those of oppressed people from the other side of the world some of the shit going on today would not happen.
    With all our freedoms and material for thought, we should be smarter than that.
    As for the story, remember that in China and north corea people get executed for expressing their thoughts, in Egypt bloggers get prison for life for writing their feelings about the regime. This is not a cultural or religious problem, it's a political problem and the plain ignorance of human rights.

    yeah right, i'm soooo ashamed...by the way canada really kicked some ass over there...y'all should be so proud...we had ended it before you got your soldiers unfrozen. you guys even have soldiers, or do y'all just throw snowballs at the bad guys?

    i watched private ryan once, just so you know

    it's the same old shit...we waited too long then - so now we don't fuck around, get in the middle of the shit, and we should be ashamed of that too.

    America, the only place where no matter what you do, it's wrong.

    but anyway back to the original topic,

    and omg, i never knew that naming a god damn teddy bear would be such an offence. So what she used name Mohammed it's a fucking popular muslim name. Don't the people themselves realise they're acting like complete twats?
    What kind of intelligence do those people have if they cannot realise that they're being unfair? the poor woman didn't even know she was not allowed to do so.

    hehe, i wonder what's going to happen if one day some westerner decides to do a religious comedy show, similar to my favourite show "Father Ted". I actually want now for someone to mock their religion.

    So the government gives woman 15 days, and then they wonder why west is scared, and doesn't want them to make nuclear bombs :rolleyes: Then they fucking wonder why some western people and me included are suspcious of them.

    The situation is pathetic but if you want to live in a country you ought to learn its laws. Its not an issue of naming a teddy bear. The religion is strict with regards to naming an INANIMATE object with a Holy name.

    alright, so she is not even allowed to make a little mistake? and forgiven on the grounds of being not native?

    also, some immigrants who live in the UK don't even bother to learn English language!! and they stay in their own communities. disgraceful......

    and over there they give 15 days with deportation to someone who's been a good teacher, but accidently named a bloody teddy. tut tut

    She made the choice of living in a country where they hold religion higher than anything else. Even incorporating it into law. I don't say its fair but it was her choice to live there.

    I am also opposed to immigrants who don't learn the language of the country they are immigrating to. My assumption is language isn't as emotionally significant to people as religion could be.

    when it comes to religion many many people have no sense of humour.


    so now the sudan want nuclear weapons too? when did that happen? i think you'll find you are incorrect on this point. but then perhaps you were lumping all muslim countries together as one big homogenous blob of a potential terrorist breeding ground. :)

    America, the only place where no matter what you do, it's wrong.

    It's hilarious to me that somebody so ignorant can so confidently bash this crap out on the keyboard from day to day. Canada actually sacrificed a higher percentage of the population to the war than the US did. Of course we fought throughout the whole war though, so I guess those numbers are inflated. All that red, white and blue rah rah rah bullshit that you get fed from diapers really skews your perspective on the world.

    I have to know: where did you get the idea that the US saved the Allies ass? Do yourself a favour and read about the Soviet Union's "contributions" to the war and then come back and tell me that the states won the war.

    The difference between now (Iraq) and then (WW2) is that "then" was a worthy cause. The US fought for 2 years in WW2 to help stop a maniac who was hell bent to create his own world. It's been 4 years in Iraq now, and what have you accomplished? Fuck all - that's what.

    And to stay on topic, Jesus and his fundamentalist followers are just as fucked up as Mohammed and his fundamentalist followers. I wished that I lived 1000 years from now, so I could live in a time where religion is obsolete.

    I can see where you are coming from on everything except for that last point. You may hear of a fundamentalist Christian putting a bomb at an abortion clinic once every five years, but this is an everyday way of life for Muslims in some parts of the world. It is ridiculous and makes no fucking sense. Whole governments are created on this warped and idiotic point of view of the Muslim religion.

    according to the article, the kids chose the name mohammed after one kid in the class. who in their right mind would ever think that would be a problem?
