Thousands of commuters have marched in the British capital London to call for English childrens author Michael Bond to be shot.
Mr Bond, 81, from Newbury, was jailed by a court on Thursday after children in his class named a teddy bear Paddington.
He was sentenced to 15 days for inciting hatrid against train stations, and will then be deported.
The Transport Office is due to repeat demands for his release.

You probably didn't even know who Michael Bond was before today.
Bitch.

Let's hope Islamic scholars don't discover a previously unknown prophet called Pudsey.  |

What a backward-looking religion Islam is. Am I allowed to say that on here? When will a fatwah be pronounced.
The woman was incredibly naive, but that apart it was an innocent mistake.

There are parts of the christian world which would react in the same way if a teddy bear was called Jesus!

Of course you are, I don't censor people unlike Mazey  There are parts of the christian world which would react in the same way if a teddy bear was called Jesus! There are most certainly. But I doubt it would be considered illegal and punishable by a fifteen day prison term. |

It could be - possibly, in parts of Africa it may well be illegal to take jesus name in vain, and a similar reaction could happen. In certain parts of the world eating a swan would be considered very normal, yet its illegal in this country (not sure whether it is still considered treason) |

It's difficult to accidently eat a swan though. I noticed the child in the class who helped name the teddy was called Muhammed too. Will his parents be punished?

Some prick on Radio 5 has just said argued that:
"When people come to Britain you expect them to learn to speak English, so she should have learnt the cultures over there."
What a load of tripe.
And if the reports are true that many people have marched calling for her to be killed - well that baffles me.

I like the idea of "Stoned to Death".
How do they choose who throws the stones?
Is there a waiting list to get on the "Stoning Team"?
What size stones could you use? is there a Stone manufacturer? or will any old boulder do?
Do they consider Health & Safety issues?
Imagining getting a "Stoning" by a girls team!!! It would take them all day...
"missed".."missed again".."missed" .."missed"

And if the reports are true that many people have marched calling for her to be killed - well that baffles me. Thats a good point, and its totally stupid, however, when people come to Britain they are expected to live within the laws of the land, even if they don't know what those laws are. When you go to a foreign country, in particular a third world country, the laws can often be bizarre (and in some cases made up as they go along) Nevertheless, you have to live within them or face the bizarre consequences. Is it true that chewing gum is a banned substance in Singapore, and that being found with chewing gum can land you in jail? |

I trust you have all requested the Adam the Muslim prayer bear for Christmas. It is on sale at the Islamic Society of Britain to raise funds for the refugees in Sudan! It not only recites an islamic greeting, if you squeeze its paw it says more islamic stuff. www.simplyislam.com/iteminfo.asp?Item=56174HYPOCRITES! |

I know it's boring, but remember that for every fundamentalist moron there are millions of muslims who abhore this sort of reaction. Just like there are millions of christians who distance themselves from the rabid rantings of extremist bible bashers.

You are quite correct ealing. I have no time for religion as it is the cause of too much hatred. They all basically believe in the same thing yet they all hate each other. Madness.

Is there a country that outlaws people who insist on spending their Saturday afternoons praying that 11 men can hoof a ball between two sticks? And then spend the rest of the week praying that one day their chosen idols will be acclaimed and recognised as the best? If so I'd like to move there.

I think that it can be done anywhere, but believers have to sacrifice a virgin first - so no chance in Worcester. Hang on though, anyone know where we can find Mazey? |

He's just learnt to drive so probably on the car park near the Old Bridge over the River Severn.

It must be an easy revenue raiser? Tax chewing gum say 100% on existing prices and you will cut addiction and reduce the amount of cash our local authorities have to spend cleaning it off our badly disfigured pavement reducing our council tax bills and giving us more money to spend on chewing gum..
Its the route to fabulous wealth
