KHARTOUM, Sudan (CNN) -- Hundreds of protesters brandishing swords and sticks gathered outside Khartoum's presidential palace Friday to vent their anger against a British teacher jailed for allowing children to name a teddy bear "Mohammed."
About 600 Islamic demonstrators piled out of mosques, chanting: "By soul, by blood, I will fight for the Prophet Mohammad." Some of the protestors demanded the teacher's execution, according to the Associated Press.
The decision by a Sudanese court to jail Gillian Gibbons late Thursday was widely criticized outside of Sudan as too harsh, with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband saying he was "extremely disappointed" the charges were not dismissed.
In leaflets distributed earlier this week by Muslim groups and seen by CNN, the protesters promised a "popular release of anger" at demonstrations called for Friday.
The leaflets condemned Gibbons as an "infidel" and accused her of "the pollution of children's mentality" by her actions.

Where is the outrage from the left? All I hear are crickets.
Any bets on what percentage of the protesters are named, oh.....Mohammed?
Do we give AID to these idiots? Hopefully we do so, then we can cut it.
Regards
Why this story doesn’t get more airtime even on Fox is beyond me!
And where is Rosie with the gibberish that Christianity is just as dangerous as islam?
Where is the outrage from the left? All I hear are crickets.Where is the outrage from anyone? Where is the enterprising Republican candidate discussing this issue in depth? Where is anyone? Maybe Rush, I don't know, I don't get to listen. I assume Rush is a sane voice here.
I saw the “John 3:16” thing on a truck the other day and thought about what an islamic verse, let’s say, “Mohammed 3:16” would say: “For allah so loved the world that he commanded all his followers to kill everyone in it or, at least, die trying.”
In my paper this morning, this story was on about Page 12 and was also very small.
Absolutely pathetic the way this is being covered.
Absolutely ridiculous to have a stuffed teddy bear named mohammed.
Now, if it were a stuffed rabid jackal...
In a country so volatile and backward should we expect any less???
Isn’t this the place where they kill people by the thousands ?
Sad, but true.
They should really execute the kids, as they are the one’s that picked the name...
The left is all about the destruction of the Western Culture and its basis, Christianity.
You shouldn’t expect to hear outrage about something that furthers that cause.
LOL!
If this story isn’t an example of that, I don’t know what is.
I checked DU the other day regarding this...most of them think the entire think is an outrage as well.
More insanity from the Cult of Death.
Meet my PIG. His name is "Mohammed the Pedophile".
He likes to have sex with one of his own little piglets, the one named "Aisha".
So, should Christians be killing those hispanic families that name their children “Hey Seus”?
Just think of the analog - Mohammed is their leading earthly figure, and any reference to him in word or depiction inspires this infantile culture/religion to lash out violently.
