Satan’s Agent Released From Sudanese Jail
Terror bear…
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - A British teacher jailed after she allowed her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad was released Monday hours after Sudan’s president pardoned her, a British Embassy spokesman said.
The teacher, Gillian Gibbons, said she did not intend to offend anyone and had great respect for Islam.
“She is in British Embassy custody and is with the deputy British ambassador,” embassy spokesman Omar Daair said. He would not give her exact location or say when she would leave Sudan.
Gibbons was sentenced on Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation for insulting Islam because she allowed her students to name a class teddy bear Muhammad, seen as a reference to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.
The teacher’s conviction under Sudan’s Islamic Sharia law shocked Britons and many Muslims worldwide. It also inflamed passions among many Sudanese, some of whom called for her execution.
Gibbons escaped harsher punishment that could have included up to 40 lashes, six months in prison and a fine.
In a written statement released by the presidential palace and read by Warsi to reporters Monday, 54-year-old Gibbons said she was sorry if she caused any “distress.”
“I have a great respect for the Islamic religion and would not knowingly offend anyone,” Gibbons said in the statement. “I am looking forward to seeing my family and friends, but I am very sorry that I will be unable to return to Sudan.”

Satan’s agent? LOL I thought the story was about the Hildabeast or maybe the other worshipper of Al-Shatain…OBL and his minions. LOL
The lady needs to get back to Britain. Anyone who still thinks that these 7th century homicidal maniacs can be reasoned with at this point, are as dellusional as “schitzoid girl.”

” I have great respect for the Islamic religion…” Huh?!? How can that be? Sorry, emotional triage in effect here - please move on to one we can save. I bet $10 she’ll be back in that shithole in less than a year - voluntarily of course!!!
