As many as 10,000 insanely barbaric protesters are demanding blood:

Thousands of Sudanese, many carrying knives and sticks, have taken to the streets of Khartoum calling for the execution of British school teacher Gillian Gibbons, jailed over a teddy bear.

Crowds demonstrated outside the presidential palace, saying the 15-day prison sentence imposed on Mrs Gibbons for allowing her class to call a teddy bear Mohammed was too lenient.

The protesters streamed out of mosques after sermons, as pick-up trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Mrs Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool.

According to MP Boris Johnson It doesn’t sound like Muslims back home are any more sympathetic:

If you want grounds for despair, read the entries on the BBC website, in which some British Muslims say that she should be punished; or read the entries from people in Sudan saying that the children should be punished.

You can find some of those comments here. His calls for counter-protests seem to be falling on deaf ears. Michelle Malkin is probably not surprised:

If it’s Friday, it’s call-for-an-infidel-execution day. The Mohammed Teddy Bear Blasphemy outrage continues, with the usual suspects doing the usual things–waving weapons, screaming bloody murder, and advocating death in the name of Mohammed.

Update:
America is to blame:

Sheikh Hussein Mubarak told thousands of faithful gathered for the Muslim day of prayer that the court’s “verdict was lenient out of fear of criticism from human rights organisations, America and the West”.

You had to see that coming. Comments like that just illustrate the underlying political nature of these protests.

   Now the Sudanese mobs are calling for her to be shot!

   Look on the bright side: Blasphemy hasn’t been so popular since the Inquisition. Everybody’s doing it. Have you got what it takes to be a world-class blasphemer?

   I heard that stupid moron Limbaugh LIVE on the radio this afternoon, making comments on his radio show about how everyone is to blame for those that hate them, then he insisted Hillary talk to the hostage holder,to be able to judge her competance in hostage negotians…WHILE PEOPLE WERE IN DANGER BY AN ARMED SUSPECT, who said he had a bomb.
   Limbaugh should be dropped kicked off the air for PUBLIC ENDANGERMENT and interfering with an ongoing hostage situation.
   Anyone with a transcript of this radio broadcast should present it to every mainstream NEWS outlet.

   This incident has little to do with teddy bears or Mohammed and everything to do with throwing up a smokescreen to help Sudan continue to resist UN and Western efforts to halt the rape, slaughter and ethnic cleansing in Darfur.

   Now, Jean-Marie Guehenno, the United Nations peacekeeping chief, has said that the obstacles raised by Sudan are putting in doubt the planned deployment of a peacekeeping force for Darfur.

   Is the UN any use whatsoever?

   Gibbons is a softy. I guess I don’t blame her since she is still in the country, but when she gets back home, I hope she does not defend their behavior or their view a child cannot name a teddy bear Mohammed.

   I am going to by a teddy bear from Teddy Bear Muhammad www.teddybearmuhammad.com I feel like sending it to the Diplomates and the Sudanese Officials. I bet the protesters would dangle the Teddy Bear Muhammad on a stick over some flames and chant Death to Teddy Bear.

   I can see it now. hehe
