I dont know, we tried that and it didn't help anybody. remember the stalinist purges? The Third Reich? The Cultural Revolution? The Kmher Rouge? I dont think that ideological atheism has done the world any better then ideological religious intolerance. there must be yet a third option. oh yeah, just plain ol regular tolerance. see what you are proposing is filled with as much antagonism as the Inquisition.... the better solution is true acceptance of everyone. the religious people accept the atheist or non-religious people, while at the same time the non-religious and the atheist accept the religious. this is tolerance and respect.

I take it you not familiar with the God of the Old Testament then?
and by the way,not that I am supporting the Sudanese decision to make the arrest, but this teacher, as a foreigner working and living in war zone, should have been a bit more careful in her own decision to allow the kids to name to pet after the prophet. after all, they are children, it is not expected that the children no every faux pas, especially those which can receive 40 lashes... if i was teaching in the Sudan, I believe it would be very important to dot my i's and cross my t's so to speak..
