Remember the Teddy Bear Muhammad story? Sudanese court continues to guard the “honor of Islam”, and sentences two Egyptian citizens two six months imprisonment for insulting Islamic religion. Who’s the particular subject of insults now? Aisha, the under-aged wife of the “prophet” Muhammad

A Sudanese court sentenced Abdel Fattah El-Sadany (30 years old) and Mahrous Mohammed Abdel-Azim (30 years old) to imprisonment for six months on charges of insulting the Islamic religion on the grounds that they had distributed a book about Al-Sayeda Aisha (the Prophet Mohammed’s wife) during their participation in the Khartoum International Book Fair.

The whole affair started on 11 December when the Sudanese security authorities arrested both Abdel Fattah Al-Sadany and Mahrous Mohammed Abdul Azim, who work for the Madbouly Publishing House of Egypt, on the charge of insulting Islamic religion for distributing a book entitled “The Prophet’s wife eats her children up”, by the Syrian writer Nabil Fayyad. The book includes sentiments considered critical of Al-Sayeda Aisha

So, these two guys receive 6 months in jail for insulting Aisha…and the English teacher who named a teddy bear “Muhammad” was initially supposed to receive 6 months in jail AND 40 lashes…At least they try to be consistent. After all, Aisha was the property of Muhammad, so insulting her gets you a lesser punishment than insulting the MO himself.
