I agree with that.

The fastest way for an entity to gain support of the populace is to identify a common problem or enemy. either real. perceived, or exaggerated. Once the populace finds that somebody is supporting them in their battle, they will become unified under that entity. Hitler, used that to his full advantage. hate organizations such as the KKK also use the same technique.

Common for a government losing support because it failed to administer the populace correctly, having failed to solve issues, corruption issues, it will try to create something to divert the attention of the masses. One example is the threat of neo-colonization, invasion etc etc.

If she sells many 20 quid teddy bears at that price she will be able to afford a life!

Seriously though, in fairness she says the money raised will be donated to a hospice. On the assumption she is as good as her word, I think that's about the only good likely to come from this whole ridiculous affair.

I wonder what her students are thinking right now :muddlehea
 
I think good sense prevailed here.

Good news, although it does make the whole thing look even more like a publicity stunt. For whose benefit, I don't know.

Let's hope nobody tells the bloodthirsty protesters...

Peace
 
it's good news that she has been freed but the whole thing had been a bad business.
 
Greetings,

Here's an article from the Sunday Times about this topic and some of its implications by Shiraz Maher, who's famous for having left Hizb ut Tahrir. I don't know what the general opinion of him is here, but I think he talks a lot of sense. See what you think.

Peace
 
Islam is supposed to be a religion of peace.

Demanding the execution of this teacher does not sound like peace to me.

Maybe all those who are demanding her execution should be executed.

Leave the world with just the peaceful Muslims.
 
Greetings,

And so to the predictable backlash:

Believe it or not, it doesn't sound much like Islam either. This is one of the problems we are facing.

What a ludicrous idea. How peaceful do you think those Muslims would be after you had executed their brothers and sisters?

[Unless you were being ironic, in which case I would advise leaving irony at the door when having discussions like this, so you can be sure your meaning is clear.]

Peace

Seeing as the issue has been resolved I see no reason to keep this thread open.
