On a loosely related note:
Politics and religion is a dangerous mix, as has been amply demonstrated over many times and many nations. The current example is a British teacher working in Sudan who allowed her young class to name a teddy bear back in September. Unfortunately for her, the name they chose was "Muhammed", and this innocent exercise has now been used as an excuse to arrest the teacher and close the school; quite possibly because the children were being exposed to people from outside their culture who were not the demons that the political/religious leaders wanted to portray them as.
Job loss, arrest and imprisonment on religious pretexts... let's see, where have we heard that one?
