It is NOT a religion of peace. It is NOT a religion of tolerance. It is a religion that encourages, in fact urges, intolerant fanaticism and preaches that all infidels are, at best, second class citizens; at worst nothing more than sub-human animals to be eradicated. In this case, talk about over-reaction? According to the stories I have read, she didn't even commit the offense. She asked her students what THEY would like to name the Teddy Bear and, being good little brain-washed Muslims they, of course, named it after the "prophet". They gave the bear the absolute "best" name they could think of. Not being a Muslim herself, did she even know that there was some kind of prohibition against naming an "animal" after the prophet because it might be considered an insult? I doubt it. After all, what is the single most common name in the Muslim world (and I believe in the world in general)? Mohammed, of course. Why would a non-Muslim even blink at giving the most common name in the world to a cherished toy? “No tolerance: Execution” – that one statement summarizes everything that is wrong with Islam.
