I hope Mrs. Gibbons' daughter is just saying this to spare her mother more torment until she is out of Sudan. If this happened to a member of my family, I would have an abundance of ill will toward Islam.
I’m sorry for the ruling, but sometimes liberals need a strong knock in the head to realize that conservatism has some very good points in its favor. After 15 days, this lady may change her politics.
I’m sure that there are a few decent muslim individuals who abhor what is happening to Mrs. Gibbons. Unfortunately, the Sudan is not a machete-free zone, so they won’t be speaking up.

Send in the fricken’ Royal Marines and kick some ass and rescue her. Besides, the scum running the place need killing, religion of peace my @—!

Let me see. The good Muslims are putting your mother in a hellhole for 15 days over the naming of a teddy bear, while the middle of the road Muslims wanted to give her 40 lashes and a year, and the fervent Muslims wanted her put to death. Over the naming of a teddy bear...
If it were my mother I’d take up burning down their Mosques as a full time profession. No offense.
The kids in the class named their bear using the most popular boys name in the world. Governments like this deserve to be incinerated.
This did not happen to a member of my family, and I do have an abundance of ill will toward islam, the radical islam, the islam that the majority of "moderate" ( I'm told they really exist) refuses to denounce. A lot of ill will.
A great abundance.

15 days is not much time
i hope given the politics involved the Sudanese will isolate and protect her and let her out early to get the gesture thing for themselves
poor naive woman
I suggested to them to name their next one Mohamed, or Mo for short.
And pig farmers. Hey, why not call them Mo's instead of sows. And Miglets instead of piglets.
Any religion this threatened by the name of a teddy bear is no great religion. It is a farce.
Where’s the new boy wonder Prime Minister Brown in all this?
I’d have sent the SAS in a week ago and told Sudan to sit down and shut up—they aren’t taking my citizen anywhere.
All I see is a bunch of useless harrumphing by British twits, when someone needs to threaten the Sudanese with an offer they can’t refuse.
Yes this should only add to the ill will all thinking people have towards the extremist in Islam and further have us questioning what percentage of Islamist are like this. I see little evidence of “moderate” Islamic individuals or groups condemming this action.
"I don't want the verdict to lead to any anti feeling towards Muslims. Everyone has been very nice, but one of my fears, and I imagine my mother's also, will be that this results in any sort of resentment towards Muslim people."I would say this too, as long as they held my mother in their savage, brutal clutches. Once she got out, I'd say what I really think: muzzies are pigs. (And then I'd apologize to pigs everywhere for the comparison.)
I hope she has enough wit to leave that country and go home after this.
Who knows what will happen in those 15 days in prison??
Anyone who stays should be written off in the same manner as obsessed missionaries who go to dangerous places on this globe to convert head-hunters and end up in a crock-pot.
