31. Insulting or commenting?
Brod ,   USA   (09.13.08)
In the first place, the teacher should not be working in a dangerous fanatical Islamist-Jihadist state in the Middle East. To them commenting means insulting. It is time the world gets educated about prophet Mohammad by reading "Understanding Muhammad" [2008] by Ali Sina. The author is brilliant as he unravels the founder of Islam to the world.
32. All Foreign teachers...
Dan ,   ISRAEL   (09.13.08)
get out of all Muslim countries. You have no future there. Whom you think you are educating?
33. I Wished They Published the Teacher's Name
(09.13.08)
I don't believe anyone would have the nerve to teach in an Arab country and tell the female students that the hijab kept them from thinking. I think the students and their parents think she's a Jew and that's why she's being punished.
34. Here....let me help you out.

Muhammed is a total anal embodyment of his own narcistic imagination. He was a hoax on the Middle East. And he has become an impediment to everyones freedoms and intellect. So much for the law against telling someone the damn truth for a change. Ane he wore raggedy unkempt clothing. So what? Othewr countries just called him a nutter.
35. They named it Bahrain because they couldn't use their brain
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.13.08)
to figure out how to spell brain correctly. Plus they bought the Muhammad myth so profoundly.....that they couldn't actually be using their brain to begin with.
36. #27 stop leaving hateful comments
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (09.13.08)
#27 go away, no one wants to hear your hateful comments.
37. they wanted foreigners
jerusalem   (09.13.08)
and they've got them now. practly anyone who can speak english fluently can get a job there easily.
38. Imagination run amok
RePe ,   Seattle USA   (09.13.08)
You may be right but consider this:if the teacher had shown some understanding of topics that are sensitive in any culture she would have made a greater and benign impact on students. Surely she must have known about her working conditions before she arrived
39. ok folks
(09.13.08)
i think it is time to bury her in sand up to her head and stone her to death....of course in the public square with thousands watching and cheering. disgusting religion and disgusting perverts of religion. ahmed aboutieh lebanon
40. #2 isn't puting Moses in pictures also insulting?
(09.13.08)
it's the personification of prophets in picture or sculpture which is prohibited, also in Judaism. aren't Jews knowing that? the dress has nothing to do with that, except for poor minded non-Jews.
41. sorry to say that All talkbackers Never attended synagogues
(09.13.08)
otherwise they could have noticed that they never come across a picture or a statue of Moses or any other prophet, there!
42. When some one hits you from back, you are in front.

no, of course no one expects wonderful peaceful muhammed to wear fancy suits and rolex watches. the ones wearing them these days are the muslim corrupt rich oil barons from saudi arabia, the terror despots and dictators like assad, mubarak, mahmud abbas, haniyeh and meshaal....while they keep their people miserable, hungry, poor and uneducated under the totalitarian veil of islam. somehow the wealth of these terrorists doesn't trickle down to the masses. they prefer it this way. otherwise they would have a huge public discontent rebelion on their hands.

my hom mud ? The story is, pal, you are an idiot!
47. A teach who works in any country
vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (09.13.08)
should teach, not comment or insult that countries religeous laws. She most probably took a job there because she failed her US teaching exams. Having said that, I wonder how many Islamist reading this know that Muhammad, like Jesus was born a jew? Both his wives were Jeweses. Also, yes he was illiterate which was more of the norm in those times, so he asked a RABBI to write the Koran for him. Every word is from the thoughts of a Jew, who started his own religion. Like a lot of these fanatic ones today who kill and main in the name of Allah and Jesus today. Whats new?
48. Can't be true
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (09.13.08)
This article can't be true, as we all know that islam is the religion of peace. Muslims don't riot, don't kill, respect other religions. Why would someone want to insult the prophet ?
49. is your Jewishness Judaism?
(09.13.08)
50. For a religion based on hogwash
MO   (09.13.08)
its odd that they don't eat pigs
51. To troll #25-27: stick to your own boards
5th generation ,   Israel   (09.13.08)
Were you expecting the enemy (you created) to lavish praise? You really are a disciple of Mohammed - expecting Jews to cave to absurd pressures and convert no-questions-asked to something based ONLY on hatred.

I think you are joking. Read "Understanding Muhammad" [2008] by Ali Sina. And see the following websites: www.faithfreedom.org (click 'Gallery') www.thereligionofpeace.com
