Sudan Slammer

That's what Muslims get when it's the pages of the NYT!

"Sudan’s President Pardons British Teacher

By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN
NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec. 3 — The British schoolteacher jailed in Sudan for allowing her 7-year-old pupils to name a class teddy bear Muhammad was pardoned Monday by the Sudanese president and left for England later in the evening.

Under Sudanese law, Ms. Gibbons could have received 40 lashes and been jailed for six months. On Friday, hundreds of Sudanese in Khartoum, the capital, protested what they considered a lenient punishment and called for her to be put to death.

Yup, always gotta mention that Muslim brutality (and stay silent on USraeli crimes)!


The case hit his desk at a time when United Nations officials and Western governments were increasingly complaining that Sudan was obstructing an expanded peacekeeping force for Darfur, the war-torn region in the west of the country.

"This was all political,” said Kamal al-Gizouli, Ms. Gibbons’s defense attorney. “The government did this to show they are tolerant. They don’t need any more problems with the world and the international media.”

Yeah, we know!

Same reason the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan papers ran with it!
