Days in prison for insulting prophet Mohammad?


Question


Days in prison for insulting prophet Mohammad?
You guys already know everything about the Brit sent to prison for giving a teddy bear the name of prophet Mohammad. The papers say it is outrageous an old woman will be sent to prison for such an innocent mistake. I am pretty sure she did not mean to insult Islam or something, but is it not a little bit rude to go abroad pretending British standards will prevail whatever the country you might be in? I feel really sorry for this woman, but I think she should have gathered some information on Sudan and what Islam is like before venturing herself into it. The Sudanese have been somewhat lenient on her ever since the usual punishment for this sort of things is either slashes or a year in prison. What do you guys make of it?


Answer


I understand your point completely. Your initial reaction is to be shocked when hearing upon the punishment but then again, if it were one of their own people, we wouldnt hear about it or even be shocked.brbrIts hard to say what to do. Obviously she didnt intentionally wish to insult Islam but when in another country, especially one that is very renowned for being traditionalist, very religious, you would think you would try to find out more about the taboos.brbrIts still shocking though. I dont like thinking about it.

Hey i really need help on this questionand its a hard one


Answer


I have been waiting for a post like this. I just recently wrote a research paper on Why Hitler Was A Poor Military Leader. Besides being born Hitler made a number of blunders that may have cost him the war. He was a very poor student but made up for it in leadership skills. Dunkirk was a large mistake that he made. Hitler wanted to remove tanks from the Flanders Marshes and was able to do so because of the backing of the Luftwaffe. One catch, the Luftwaffe did nothing. So thousands of men were able to escape. Hitler also made the mistake of attacking Russia during the Winter. HELLO! The Siberian Winter is about degrees colder than in Germany. Plus Hitler failed to concentrate his forces in one place. He scattered them throughout Russia. He also ordered that the ME be fitted with bombs for use as a bomber, this drastically slowed down the production of the aircraft. Hitler was very good at remembering specific details which led to the distrust in his high officials. He arranged his command staff so that everything went through him. Any Argument could blow his fuse and usually resulted in the dismissal or replacement of that official. Hitler also had poor sleeping habits. On the June , Hitler decided to sleep in late making it impossible for Rundstedt to order tanks to Normandy. He always talked about his military experience from WWI but actually his experience was limited. Hitler would insist that something be changed to his liking no matter what his cabinet suggested. Hitler would also procrastinate horribly, putting off a decision for days and even weeks. After he made a decision he would constantly make changes to it no matter what time of day and if anyone tried to disagree with him he would become enraged and stop the discussion of the matter immediately. So there is a few reasons why Hitler was a bad military leader and some mistakes that he made.

Question


What common English word is most often pronounced incorrectly?quot?


Answer


I think its quotincorrectlyquot as well. But if you live in the Southwest or the South in the United States, I think the word that gets pronounced incorrectly is the word quotcreek.quot Usually it comes out as quotcrick.quot However, I think it is a charming regional usage, and I say it that way as well, especially when Im imitating a cowboy accent.



To Kill A Mockingbird or Of Mice And Men?


Question


To Kill A Mockingbird or Of Mice And Men?
For my English coursework, I have the choice of studying To Kill A Mockingbird or Of Mice And Men. Which one should I chose, and why?


Answer


Both are great books, and neither is difficult to read. Of Mice and Men was the first book that really made me cry. To Kill a Mockingbird remains my alltime favorite to this day. Both books have clear themes and it would be easy to write a good essay about either one of them.brbrOf Mice and Men is definitely shorter, so if you read slowly or dont have too much time to finish, you may want to choose that one. Its technically a novella, as its too short to be considered a novel. Even though its so short, theres a lot packed into those few pages. Its very poignant and sad. It centers around two adult characters migrant workers running from the law and trying to make do with what they have. They are a team one of them is physically very strong but mentally challenged, the other is smaller but intelligent.brbrOn the other hand, To Kill a Mockingbird, although its longer, is still pretty easy to read. It centers around the lives of two children growing up in the south in the s. Their Dad is a lawyer who is defending a black man accused of raping a white woman. Also very poignant. Note Other than the Bible and Shakespeare, Mockingbird is the most reread work in the world. That so many people who read it want to read it again should tell you something.brbrThe best way I know to choose if none of these answers is helping you would be to read a few chapters of each book and see which one you like better.brbrGood luck with your project, and I hope you eventually read both books!
