#1 First Muslims went ballistic over cartoons, now they are rioting over teddy bears. I never believed we evolved from monkeys, because in some cases monkeys are more intellectually and emotionally advanced than people.

#3 If Britain had half a ball left they will demand the immediate release and removal of this lady from the Sudan or else. The else being the immediate bombing of whatever high value assets this sh*thole of a country has.

#4 They used to engage in a little gunboat diplomacy. Now England is weak. At some point the public will get fed up with this and take matters into its own hands. If the Crown will not defend itself the law will be left to the street. It is justice or anarchy and nothing in between.

#5 Why are there any whites at all, in the Sudan?? Let those savages baste in the ashes of their own dusk bin of a country!

#6 I await the day of the 100% satellite based failed nation cordon. No one in, no one out, no food or medicine for sharia freaks...

#7 First and foremost, where are the millions of Muslims that AREN'T fanatical religious zealots and, why are they (the majority) not defending this poor woman and chastising the small minority of crazies?
There can only be 2 reasons: 1) they are afraid of reprisal from the crazies or,
2) Deep-down, they support the crazies and the concept of removing all infidels from the planet.
I suggest it's the latter and we (the civilized world) are at war with the Muslims and just don't know it yet. They understand it's a war and if it takes several generations or centuries to win, so be it.
To stop this war, the Muslim intellectuals/moderates must speak out against the crazies, turn them over to police and take charge of their religion or they will become part of the problem as well.

#8 Canaveraldan: I agree.

The problem is the Sudanese saw how Iran was able to mistreat the Brit sailors this past year. It was so easy for the muzzies to humiliate the UK. I have to wonder how the Sudanese would have handled this matter of the Mo teddy bear had the UK handled their hostage situation with Iran...shall we say...more aggressively.

#9 I suggest it's the latter and we (the civilized world) are at war with the Muslims and just don't know it yet.

Some of us are quite aware we're at war, and have been since about 1919, when the Ottoman Empire was broken up after World War I. It became a "hot" war after 1970, when Arafat and others began to carry out terrorist attacks, and various governments began to both sponsor those attacks and train the attackers.

They understand it's a war and if it takes several generations or centuries to win, so be it.
To stop this war, the Muslim intellectuals/moderates must speak out against the crazies, turn them over to police and take charge of their religion or they will become part of the problem as well.

That will never happen, because their "religion" not only supports the war effort, it DEMANDS it. There are only two ways to stop this war: destroy islam or destroy its followers. Until we demonstrate, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we will eventually go to whatever extremes are necessary to destroy islam or muslims if they don't play nice in civilized society, they will continue to pound away at the edges until western civilization crumbles.

While there MAY be millions of muslims out there that aren't religious zealots,

#10 To stop this war, the Muslim intellectuals/moderates must speak out against the crazies, turn them over to police and take charge of their religion or they will become part of the problem as well.

They refuse to. Not out of fear but out of tacit support for jihad. Far too many opportunities have passed for Muslims in free nations to assemble in vast numbers and denounce their jihadist co-religionists. In their refusal, all of them have become part of the problem.

As Old Patriot notes, the West will have to destroy Islam and whatever portion necessary of this earth's Muslim population in order to unequivocally establish our displeasure with their constant aggression. Anything less is an open invitation for more business-as-usual by the terrorists.
