This is Muhhamed the Teddy Bear. He is a terrorist. He murders people because they named him after a false prophet of a fictional god. Bad Muhammed!

Aww, what a cute little Bearorrist.
Maybe that should be spelled Bearrorist.
You had better not give his location to Israel. They might bulldoze his home.
I was curious if he came with a bomb belt or if you have to order it separately. Does he have a string you pull to get him to say, “death to infidels”? These questions need answers!
Why don’t they behead the teddy bear? That should pacify supe sky dude and those primitive muslims.
That should have been “super sky dude”
Oh those Sudanese Muslims are so sensitive. This, coming from a nation that thinks nothing of tossing babies into fires and raping women, etc., in the holy, Islam-supproted genocide in Darfur. Too bad these cretins can’t get a grip on reality.
Suck it, Muhhammed. Teddy Bear is my god now!
Or crucify the Teddy Bear and watch him resurrect on the third day…super-cool religious party tricks…
Guys I have to alert you to a similar story. A school teacher in Idaho has allowed a stuffed giraffe to be named Ellen Johnson by the students. I propose we all gather up our sticks and stones and go murder this vile teacher and all the kids while we are at it.
Ellen Johnson isnt British…asshole
I took a shit today and called it mohammed (piss be upon him) before I flushed him away to heaven.
Poor Teddy Bear
nissimlevy,
Seconded!
Why not put jesus on a stick (thanks Pixel!), and call it mohammed. That way we could be finished with all the speculation and get on with the true nature of the current wars.
rna2dna,
Brilliant!… just don’t tell anyone…
Isn’t it pathetic to invent gods and the suffer to keep them as kings?
You know what would be even better? Toilet paper with a picture of Muhammed on each piece.
@Charlie
Huh?
I know that if bipolar Jesus the teddy bear got in a fight with angry Mohammed the Teddy Bear, well, Mohammed would probably end up in hell unless Jesus was having a good day in which case he’d allow Mohammed to flog him to death and wouldn’t defend himself at all.
I don’t see how people could love a teddy bear that, one day puts on a show of being very loving, and then the next day threatens to destroy you for all eternity. That has got to be a very abusive relationship.
So…are we to assume Ellen is a liar? Why does she give different interviews for live TV and printed press…?

I guess she’s not as “out of the closet” as she claims to be…

I don’t “get” your “asshole” comment directed at Pha? Inside joke maybe?
Here is more on the story of muslim PIGS calling for the execution of teacher.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071130/ap_on_re_af/sudan_british_teacher;_ylt=Ap6xd7M1cCdqiE62liTnvVWs0NUE
the protests in Sudan against the teacher. Once again it is groups made up principally, maybe entirely of young men. Almost all of the “terrorist” bombings are carried out by young men. I think that all of those in Europe and the U.S. have been done by young men.
The often violent protests against Salman Rushdie and the cartoons were the efforts of young men. Haven’t all the attacks on abortion clinics and personnel been the acts of young men?
Has anyone studied why it appears to be young men in particular who are moved to carry out these violent protests and attacks? Is this gender differential simply social, or is there some biological reason?
The results today seem to show that one should be particularly wary of young men who go to churches or mosques.
pha
just trying to be funny….by adding to your comment….your not an asshole….now imagine if phreedummy was born in Sudan….he’d be wheeling a stick and throwing stones today…
This event is just another reason why monotheism needs to be ridiculed and discredited….
suck it mohammad, jesus and all the sheeples
phreedummy:
What are you crying about now?
Still have not answered my question. Is this a ?White Man?s? country?
bernarda,
When it comes to the behavior of young men, I think it is a question research should be directed at. I was beaten in an attempted mugging last Saturday. They did not get my wallet, but they did break 3 ribs, puncture a lung and I spent 4 days in the hospital. A collapsed lung really hurts. Why do young men join gangs? These were not poor kids(17-20yrs old), they were middle class.
It is my opinion that much of this behavior is biological. Puberty is the age that animals combat for mates. I also think that some environments seek to inflate it. We should be more careful about the influences and pressures we put young males under, and the ideas they are being exposed to. I fully support research and use it to modify how we educate males in this high risk age group.
Sorry to derail topic. At least it is not a pointless derail like Phreedump is infamous for. Suck it, Jesus, Mohamed and Abraham!
My proposal would to start naming male puppies jesus and mohamed. Then it would actually be a true statement when you called either of them a son of a bitch!
I guess all those moe followers will have to believe in the real power of the all-mighty Teddy Bear from now on. A great chance to progress and evolution (cerebral, that is).
Teddy = 1
Moe – 0
Why does phreedipshit post here….all he does is start arguments with aimlessly wondering babble….
I would never post at a babble blog….Im not into backward thinking dumb ideas…plus it would make me nauseous….
nauseous means sicken with disgust phreedumb….
I’ve probabley mentioned this here before, but in case anyone missed it, here is a link on topic.

The author is pretty much a genius as far as I am concerned. Great atheist humor and cartoon commentary. Check out his archives when you’ve got a moment.

Wow, so sorry to hear about you being attacked. I hope you’ve completely recovered! Are the police investigating?
I think you’re right about young males being prone to violence because of biological reasons. I think religion gives them justification for their bad behavior.
bernarda,
It is interesting that the female violent crime rate has been increasing as the social-economic expectation of males and females has been becoming less differentiated.
Without going into a looong explaination of why, for now I will just state that I think violence is a learned behavior. My basis is differences in parental expectations, social pressures, societal expectations and, changes in peoples behavior based on life experiences.
How many people that are raising both genders of children, are exposing them to the same stimuli with the same expected behavior? Has anyone watched the show Dog Wisperer? Not that I always agree with his explanations but, have you noticed some of the major differences in behavior with very small stimuli changes? Humans aren’t dogs but still I think very small changes or differences in relationships can sometimes make big differences in how a person relates to the world.
Teaching kids is hard enough without having to contend with idiot parents (yes, idiots) and their “sincerely held religious beliefs”…
Suck it Mohammad…May the Southern fried pork chops be upon thee.
jshanewhit
That is awful. I’m glad to hear that you are out of danger and healing. I hope they catch the bastards and give them a taste.
Charlie,
Just as a suggestion, try not reading it. The atheist’s responses are often worthwhile but, in its case “…” is an empty set.
Why are we not talking about the more serious side of this subject, like the fact that Sudan’s constitution calls for a “freedom of religion”, like that of the United States, and that the government is overstepping its boundaries and instituting the Shari’a as federal law?
Very sorry to hear about what happened to you jshanewhit. I hope you get well soon.
In another blog, a poster informed me about this lecture from the AAI 2007 conference.
http://richarddawkins.net/article,1710,We-Few-We-Happy-Few-We-Band-of-Brothers,Andy-Thomson-Richard-Dawkins-Foundation
The title is “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers” if the link doesn’t work. In the lecture, he refers to a book “The Looming Tower” by Laurence Wright. You can find it at Amazon with commentaries.
Scott Atran who has written on religion and religious terrorism is interviewed here.
http://discovermagazine.com/2003/oct/featdialogue/
“In your book In Gods We Trust, you call religion an evolutionary riddle. Why?
A: Think about it. All religions require costly sacrifices that have no material rewards. Look at the Egyptian pyramids. Millions of man-hours. For what? To house dead bones? Or the Cambodian pyramids. Or the Mayan pyramids. Or cathedrals. Or just going to church every Sunday and gesticulating. Or saying a Latin or Hebrew prayer, mumbling what are to many people incoherent words. Stopping whatever you’re doing to bow and scra-pe. Then think about the cognitive aspects of it. For example, to take alive for dead and weak for strong. I mean, what creature could possibly survive if it did these kinds of things systematically?
Look at the things that religion is said to do. It is said to relieve people’s anxieties, but it’s also said to increase their anxieties so that elites can use them for political purposes. It’s supposed to be liberating. It’s supposed to encourage creativity. It’s supposed to stop creativity. It’s supposed to explain events that can’t be explained. It’s supposed to prevent people from explaining them. You can find functional explanations, and their contraries, and they’re all true.
Why then has religion survived in so many cultures?
A: Because humans are faced with problems they can’t solve. Think about death. Because we have these cognitive abilities to travel in time and to track memory, we are automatically aware of death everywhere. That is a cognitive problem. Death is something that our organism tells us to avoid. So now we seek some kind of a long-term solution. And there is none. Lucretius and Epicurus thought they could solve this through reason. They said, “Look, what does it matter? We weren’t alive for infinite generations before we were born. It doesn’t bother us. Why should we be worried about the infinite generations that will be after us when we’re gone?” Well, nobody bought that. The reason that line of reasoning didn’t work is because once you’re alive, you’ve got something that you’re going to lose.”
“Freedom of religion” simply doesn’t work for religions which explicitly oppose freedom of religion. When someone’s religion says, “Slay the infidel!” they simply cannot be allowed to practice it.
I don’t think anyone should get special rights to practice their religion. That’s like giving people special rights to wear funny hats.
We can protect individuals’ civil rights and prevent them from being persecuted for their religion (or for their funny hat), but nobody deserves special privileges for believing in nonsense.
bernarda and jshane,
Without research we can’t answer the question completely, but I think we should not discount socialization.
Little girls play with dolls, little boys play with fake handguns. Not because they choose them (at least initially), but because that’s what their parents buy them.
Obviously correlation does not equal causation, but I’ll still be very surprised if there is a “violence” gene that males tend to get more often than females.
I think theres a couple of things that make it up. One is young males telling other young males they are not male (possess balls)unless they do what they are told. Theres a saying “If you want to see your future,look at your friends. Another one is american “Bad Boy Culture” the media inflicts on people. It can range from NSYNC to prohibition era gangsterism and back.
Another favorite is building self esteem by improving yourself ,but some do this by tearing others down.
