Mohammed Teddy Bear teacher Gillian Gibbons spoke to the Guardian about her ordeal. An excerpt:
After several hours of interrogation, Gibbons was locked up with no explanation, unable to understand the guards’ rapid-fire Arabic. ‘I’d only had three Arabic lessons and we hadn’t got to the bit about “What to do if you’re arrested”,’ she says.
The open-air cell had three grey-tiled walls, a basic squat toilet in a corner and steel bars running across the facade and ceiling. ‘I just stood there for three hours, thinking I was going home. It was filthy, there were ants all over the floor and in the corner there were rat droppings. There was a light shining into my yard that attracted all the mosquitoes, so I stood there and got bitten to death.
‘It started to get dark about 6.30 and it got quite cold and all I had was my wrap, I didn’t even have a handbag because I only thought I was going for an hour.’
At eight in the evening, a guard brought her some cheese-and-tomato sandwiches left for her by staff at the school. ‘Nobody actually came to tell me that I wasn’t going home, so I just guessed at that point. I was panicking and I was crying. I didn’t actually sleep all night. I was so distressed, so uncomfortable and so cold, that at four in the morning I just paced round and round trying to keep warm. It felt like this was happening to someone else. It was just mad, just surreal.’
Drima at PJM:
It amazes me how some of us can get so upset over a teddy bear whose name was democratically chosen by a bunch of seven-year-olds but feel no anger at the mass atrocities which took place in Darfur over the last four years. Honoring the countless Darfurian lives lost apparently isn’t important.
Brainwashed by self-interested religious clerics into believing that Ms Gibbons’ act was in fact part of a bigger Western plot against Islam, thousands of angry protesters marched the streets of Khartoum apparently to protect the honor of the Prophet. Where were they all this time when Darfur was burning? Where were they when Mohammed Atta flew into the World Trade Center? No, wait, sorry. That particular Mohammed was not a teddy bear.
200,000 dead, no problem. A teddy bear gets named Muhammad, all hell breaks loose.
The teddy bear extravaganza also succeeded in making Islam look utterly ridiculous again. Let us not forget though that Islam is as monolithic as we Muslims ourselves are – hardly at all. Many Muslims rely on reason and their own conscience rather than blindly following religious clerics.The lunatics we saw protesting – and those who mobilized them – are a symptom of a dangerous global cancer. It must be staunchly challenged. If it isn’t, episodes like this one will become increasingly common not just in Sudan, but everywhere else in the world.

You guys are going to catch some hell for this one.
Michelle: Where are the proceeds going from all this swag??
They’ll help keep Hot Air and michellemalkin.com in business, so we can keep playing our small part in the world to combat this madness.
There is nothing good old American Freedom of Speech. I hope you sell a million of them!
Got mine, thanks - btw do whatever with the profit you deserve it.
Michelle:
Might I suggests sending a few autographed bears to CAIR’s headquaters!
You need to have the little suction cups so its sticks on the car window, like Garfield.
Put “Don’t Raze me bro” on the back and I will buy one!
I envision lots of Christmas trees being burned in those intolerant fundamentalist neighborhoods.
I must admit. That is actually quite good. Would be great if the profits went to help those in need in Darfur….
Hot Air and michellemalkin.com are not non-profits, but they are powerfull voices in the fight to keep America out of the hands of the loony progressives. They are a cause that need to be funded.
Yep, like snausage sends all of his excess income to Darfur.
Snausage - Taking Darfur Funds for his own gain.
I think they’d be funnier with little replicas of bomb vests attached to them or a turban with a bomb in it like the cartoon. OOOps no, that would be considered terroristic threats…SORRY!
Sign me up for one of those.
Any chance I can also get a pig named allah? And possibly an ape named mahmoud?
I think it would make a nice collectors set.
You’re such a wonderful person.
Did a Google image search for Mohammed. This is great: The Mohammed Thong
I don’t know how many of you read the entire article from “The Guardian” but Miss Gibbons’ resignation of guilt is the most disturbing element in this story in my opinion. Once again, the proponents of forcible submission to Shari’a have succeeded without firing a shot: capitulation to Islamic supremacy. I have no antipathy for Miss Gibbons, but after reading that article and her comments, I honestly wanted to say quite derisively: “Now there’s a good dhimmi”
“….the bit about “What to do if you’re arrested” ”
no prob!!!
put your head between your legs& stuff it!!, then keep repeating “Religion of Peace….I’m OK…..You’re OK!!!
& if you make it outta there…..
demand that the local P.O. put up a CHRISTMAS TREE!!!
….yes…..i am unhappy about this.
I hope y’all sell a bunch of these and don’t get any death threats from the Religion of Perpetual Outrage.
I also found a couple of quotes out of that worth noting.
A word of advice to travelers–go for this language lesson first!
Can we get some numbers on this? How many is “many”, about 50-100 people out of 1.2billion?
I agree. I made a similar comment in the thread about her initial release. Her perspective hasn’t improved. She is still a typical liberal goof and my sympathy and pity has dried up entirely.
With regard to the Guardian article, did I just hear someone say “Stockholm syndrome?”
Will the Mohammed bear try behead my daughter’s other bears if they don’t submit to him?
#21-
That is on my mind everytime a captive comes home alive and they start to empathisize with their captives.
The other possibility is that she is saying the nice pc things until this blows over and so she can regain her life back again. If after three months and she’s talking empathetic for her captors then I agree with you that she has been assimluated into the dhimicollective. (”We are islam-you will be assimulated”)-see the Borg on ST/TNG were on to something!
GSP
Dhimi or Freedom? Your Choise!
Did anybody send this link to Al Jazeera to see if they have a comment about it? I think it’s a great Idea and I hope you make tone of Money Michelle.
Seven Questions to Ask Yourself Before Buying a Mohammed Teddy Bear
7. Would he try behead the other teddy bears if they don’t submit to him?
6. Would I have to buy burkas for my Barbie dolls?
5. Is this really a suitable Hanukkah gift?
4. Does my toybox face east?
3. Would G.I. Joe rip the stuffing out of him?
2. Could I be accused of waterboarding if I clean him in the washing machine?
1. Could he make an IED out of a honey pot?
Who cares? This is a free market economy and since we are not Liberals, what business is it of ours what Michelle does with the money? Whether it goes to run the site, buy a BMW or enough chocolate from Godiva to take a bath in it, the fact is, it is nobodys business but hers. Christ, you sound like Hill-Dawg looking to re-distribute the wealth in order to benefit all,
You mean like all the countless monies you have sent to help benefit those people in Darfur and other places? Why, I bet you are even awarded the Best Donor Award for the Christian Children’s Fund, Children’s Miracle Network, and the United Way every year, aren’t you you big ol philanthropist you.
I got money says Mr. Big Mouth doesn’t even donate out of his paycheck let alone into a pot for the Salvation Army, yet he is going to spout off sanctimoniously to Michelle about donating to Darfur on here. What a Liberal skank. Hell, I got money says he doesn’t even know what those names I losted even represent. Any takers? Anyone? Bueller?
To Jim McDermott.
Not.
Texastiger- wonderful list!
I still don’t get why naming a toy got them upset, but a major mullah in Australia saying that the men of his faith have no more self control than wild animals when it comes to temptation does not get anyone angry. Or isn’t that what he meant when he said that women not enshrouded in burkas were like meat left on a table that the cats would attack and devour? Didn’t that mean that the men, being inheritantly weak morally and unable to do what was right were likened to cats?
Personally, if they can’t control themselves, I am all for neutering any…cat.
I already have the Mohammed Cair Bear. Does anyone know where I can find the very rare “Peace Be Upon Him” bear so I can have a matching set? I’ve been told that it’s hard to find “Peace” anywhere now because Cair has retired it.
I just joined the Bear-of-the-month club and, according to the catalog, I can expect to receive one special Cair Bear each month. And, as an extra bonus, I will receive two bears during the month of Ramadan. The bears will be selected at random each month from the following list:
The Rosie Rage Bear, the Behar Burka Bear, the Jihad Jane Bear, the Streisand Suicide-Bomber Bear (this one sings “People Who Bleed People”), the Sheehan Surrender Bear (it’s pink), the Pelosi Peace-through-Submission Bear (it looks so cute in its hijab), the Reid Wrath Bear, the Mad Murtha Massacre Bear (it looks so soft and cuddly), the Boxer Behead-a-lot Bear, the Feinstein Fury Bear, the Al-Qaeda Agony Bear, the Always Angry Bear, the Assassinate-the-Apostate Bear, the Kill-the-Convert Bear, and the Incinerate-the-Infidel Bear. I hope the last one comes first. I hear it is to die for!
I’m so excited! If it wasn’t for the Bear-of-the-Month club, I’d have to look elsewhere for something to use for target practice.
So she had three lessons in Arabic? How exactly is she qualified to teach?
Why was there a class on what to do when arrested?
More CAIR bears. It doesn’t appear that they’re available for sale, but they’re pretty funny!
Tex, you owe me a snot-free monitor and keyboard….
