UK Muslim Professor: Christians Shouldn't Teach Muslims....

Iftikhar Ahmad, of the London School of Islamics, also claims that the demonstrators who called for her death are simply a response to Iraq and the dreaded Danish cartoons of blasphemy.  Unreal, and they wonder why we don't trust them...

The furore in Sudan over 'Muhammad' teddy teacher Gillian Gibbons raises questions in some people's minds about both the wisdom and the suitability of Christian teachers educating Muslim children.

Unity, the independent school at the centre of the row, educates Christian and Muslim children aged four to 18 and is governed by a board representing major Christian denominations in Sudan.

Iftikhar Ahmad, of the London School of Islamics, an educational trust, campaigns for state-funded Muslim schools because he believes that "Muslim children need Muslim teachers."

"It is the duty of the teacher to guide young children but a non-Muslim teacher is not in a position to provide any kind of Islamic guidance to very young children," (the less Islam the better -ed.) he told the BBC News website.

"Education from the age of three to 15 is during a very important development period and they need role models.

Mr Ahmad, 68, who came to the UK from Pakistan in 1967, claims Mrs Gibbons was wrong to let her charges name the bear. (of course it's her fault, not your filthy co-religionists acting like savages -ed.)

"She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but if she was Muslim she would not have allowed the children to name the teddy bear. How many schools in England give a teddy bear the name Jesus?" (and if they did, would we jail and threaten to kill the teacher? -ed.)

He says the demonstrations are understandable given the pent up anger among many Muslims over Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad which sparked widespread outrage in 2006. (my blood pressure just rose 100 points -ed.)

"Muslim youths are being searched in the streets and hundreds are in prison without trial. At least she (Mrs Gibbons) was given a fair trial and a lenient punishment," he adds. (yeah, but she in jail for naming a teddy bear, not plotting to kill people -ed.)
