FOXNews.com - Teddy Bear Case Exposes Failure of American Feminist Leaders - Opinion

Teddy Bear Case Exposes Failure of American Feminist Leaders

It took a teddy bear . . .

British schoolteacher Gillian Gibbons, an unimposing woman of 54, was found guilty of "inciting religious hatred" and sentenced to 15 days in jail and deportation by a court in Sudan’s Khartoum after allowing her 7-year-old students to name a teddy bear “Muhammad.”

In the meantime, Islamist fundamentalists have called for her execution, and her safety is in constant jeopardy. Demonstrations have increased, with crowds carrying machetes, shouting in part: “Execute her! Kill her, kill her by firing squad.”

She is under such threat, Sudanese authorities have moved her to a secret location to ensure her safety.

Apparently, naming a cuddly bear Muhammad insults the prophet, while mass-murdering homicide bombers named Muhammad don’t.

During the past 14 years at least, certainly since Usama bin Laden declared ‘war’ on Western civilization in 1993, we’ve all been exposed to the literal madness of Islamic fundamentalism. We’ve seen the curtain pulled back on how craven American leftists can be as well. Yes, it took a teddy bear to highlight more clearly than ever the psychosis of the enemy, and the failure of the feminist establishment.

There has been appropriate international outrage over the treatment of Gibbons, from virtually everyone except American “feminists.” Multiple Muslim groups in the U.K. have condemned the sentence. Even the popular little boy in Mrs. Gibbons’ class who suggested the name for the bear came to her defense, explaining that he named the bear after himself.

Yet, when asked by FOX News for a comment about the situation, a National Organization for Women spokeswoman said they were "not putting out a statement or taking a position."

This is how depraved the American left has become. A little Muslim boy in Sudan shows more courage and conviction for a woman under fire than a bunch of women sitting in Washington, D.C., who preen themselves on being the premiere “advocates” for women.

How many of those 'Christian Women's sites' ignored the Clinton sex scandals? The Clarence Thomas sex charges? Etc.? The NOW hags gave Clinton a pass while condemning Thomas. Yep!!!! They sure do pick their battles. Let's not hold the NOW hags to any sort of standards.

NOW exists to keep Roe V Wade in place, I am not sure what else they really serve a purpose for really. I am not sure they deserve any more or less credit as compare to the NRA, Focus on the Family or any other group.

When you checked the Christian Women's Sites, did it mention them being asked specifically about the situation? That would need to have happened if a parallel was to be reached.

I'll bet they were not asked and perhaps they didn't even know, who's to say. I would also wager a guess and say they would provide a statement if asked. I do see your point, however, battles are picked and just as on AWE, just because a comment is not made does not mean that that person in some way agrees to what has been said or done.

My point is if organizations are required to have a statement on every situation that comes up. And, BTW, this came out on Fox but not other news organizations.

I have no clue who are considered leading feminists. I think it would be clear to all what any woman thinks of the situation for teacher in Sudan or the rape victim punished in Saudia Arabia.

I am not sure if American feminists organizations should make a public statement on each and every case of violations of women in these countries. I do not participate or have I ever in any such group. I would think it might even harm the victim further to have an american feminist group make a public statement. I think our government should make a public statement on human rights violations.

There could be many reason why NOW would not unleash on this and one may be that they do not want to make the situation worse when they have no recourse or power to make change.

I think this Fox story is a ruse.

Religious extremists views on women are always so skewed.

If you are talking about whether the event happened, I don't think it is a ruse.

If so then the BBC is in on it.

So is Spiegel (German media source).

So is CNN.

So is MSNBC.

You get the picture.

If you are just saying the story linked to this thread about feminists not speaking out, well, it is an opinion piece and evidently Cat checked up on it some and it seems that the women groups haven't said anything about it. You can take that for what it is worth, I doubt they do speak out on every single instance involving women being mistreated.

Of course in this case, she wasn't in trouble because of her status as a woman. If it was a male he would have been in trouble also.
