According to the (many) reports in the British media, it was a member of the school's administrative staff that turned her in.<BR/><BR/>There are now all kinds of diplomatic machinations going on to ensure that she's released asap - hopefully within the next 48 hours - and Sudanese officials in Britain, from what we saw on yesterday's BBC news, are (justifiably) *extremely* embarrassed, as are Muslim community leaders in the UK. And of course she should never have been arrested in the first place, much less tried and jailed (she was, fortunately, found not guilty of inciting hatred against Islam, which is why she was jailed rather than publicly flogged). But even having said all that, it has to be said that she was spectacularly naive.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955770520790267352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-74993764091770382872007-12-01T18:11:00.000+00:002007-12-01T18:11:00.000+00:00Hey, I personally think the kids set her up.

I wouldn't want to go to any Muslim country - unless it's OVER it, and I'm in an aircraft with a lot of bombs and we're on a mission. I have really "had it" with those people.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-80411890466134537922007-12-01T17:35:00.000+00:002007-12-01T17:35:00.000+00:00Well, hopefully nobody has any of Ms. Gibbons' blo...Well, hopefully nobody has any of Ms. Gibbons' blood on their hands.<BR/><BR/>The prison sentence is appalling and outrageous, of course - but at the same time, you have to wonder at the naivety of a woman who went to teach in a hard-line Muslim country and wasn't aware that making any kind of image of Mohammed is a no-no. As I said, the prison sentence is a hideous overreaction and completely unjustified (and it looks as if diplomatic relations between the UK and the Sudan may well be badly damaged by this incident), but surely, if you set off to take a job like that in a place like that, you do your homework about the culture you're going to before you leave home.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955770520790267352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-26557442219786712042007-11-30T20:39:00.000+00:002007-11-30T20:39:00.000+00:00I love the ebay bear and it's good to know there ...I love the ebay bear and it's good to know there might be a pretty big donation to a hospice.<BR/><BR/>Praying the poor woman gets out of jail and the country safely.
