Teache Jailed In Sudan

The teacher who got into trouble for calling a teddy Mohammad is going to jail, for 15 days. It's like sending someone to jail for calling a teddy bear Jesus. There are people called Jesus, and it's ok to call a teddy bear Jesus. But they chose to misinterpret her actions. So it's jail and deportation.

The lesson here is that just because you're in a country to help and do good, don't expect that to count for anything. The sacrifice may go beyond just your time. Also, it seems that volunteers seem to get a raw deal in countries of a particular religion. So, don't complain if something happens to you. Nobody asked you to go there.
