The school she taught at was a very expensive, very Westernised school. It's conceivable but pretty stupid that she might not have appreciated the difference between the kind of attitude the school tried to portray and that of its employees. After all, if I read correctly it was the school's secretary who complained.
And yes, clerics were calling for her execution, but the actual punishment was commuted from 40 lashes to prison time.
I just cannot see how this is anything other than a Sudanese witch-hunt. Sudan wins both ways: by 'bowing' to international pressure they appear receptive to Western demands whilst, on the other hand, sending out the message (to those who want to hear it) that the West continues to disrespect and defile Islam.
