Razor,

KHARTOUM, Sudan — British teacher Gillian Gibbons was convicted of insulting Islam for letting her pupils name a teddy bear Muhammad and sentenced to 15 days in prison and deportation from Sudan, one of her defense lawyers said Thursday.
Ali Mohammed Ajab, of Gibbons' defense team, said she was found guilty of "insulting the faith of Muslims in Sudan" under Article 125 of the Sudanese criminal code, a lighter conviction than the original charge of inciting religious hatred. A charge later confirmed by a judge leaving the closed court session.
"I feel this is very serious and very unfair," he told The Associated Press outside the courtroom. Ajab, who also works for the Khartoum Center for Human Rights, said the issue was raised by "hard-liners who are always trying to make some noise," in an apparent reference to religious conservatives.
Ajab said his center would appeal the verdict, an opinion not shared by Gibbons' employer.
"It's a very fair verdict, she could have had six months and lashes and a fine, and she only got 15 days and deportation," said Robert Boulos of the Unity High School, confirming there would be no appeal. He noted that she would only spend 10 days in prison, having already served five.
This is wretched! This entire episode should really give Americans a wake-up call...Islamic extremists really believe this sh*t, and they want to bring it "to a theater near you."
Sorry sudanese folks, not going for the backward-ass burka look anytime soon...but thanks for playing!
And to add, I think We Americans have only one body to thank that "the I.E.'s" are not here already...
Our Brave Military.
