20 British Muslims protested in front of the Sudanese Embassy in London demanding the immediate release of Gillian Gibbons.
Not many, but a good beginning.
A contrast to the Sudanese fundamentalists n Khartoum who called for her execution.
Somewhere along the line, Islam has to create a climate wherein Muslims can raise serious questions about the historicity of the Koran and all the other related intellectual issues that have driven much of Judaism and Christianity in the last 200 years.
Christianity and Judaism have their own brands of fundamentalists, and interestingly enough, these fundamentalist movements all generate violence - from attacking Palestinians to bombing abortion clinics.
Jesus raised serious questions about the Roman Empire, but firmly eschewed all forms of violence.
Violence begets violence, as the United States learns again and again, and its true for religons as well.
Fundamentalists forget that the best weapon with the greatest influence over the long haul of history is still the pen.
