If you’re planning on moving to a nation ruled by Sharia law, don’t name your teddy bear Mohammed:
KHARTOUM, Sudan (CNN) — A British teacher arrested in Sudan after allowing her class to name a teddy bear “Mohammed” has been charged by authorities with offending religion, British officials say.
Gillian Gibbons, 54, is being held by police in the capital Khartoum after she asked her class of seven-year-olds to come up with a name for the toy as part of a school project, Robert Boulos, the head of Unity High School told CNN.
It is expected that she will appear in court Thursday, Sudan state media reported.
A British Foreign Office spokeswoman said Gibbons had been charged under Article 125 of Sudan’s constitution, the law relating to insulting religion and inciting hatred.
I really don’t think there’s much more that needs to be said.

And yet not a word from NOW — about this or the incident in Saudi Arabia

There is no prohibition in Islam against using the name Mohammed. It’s just the Sharia interpretation of the Quran, that says the name is sacred (except for mass murderers etc)… a bad religion made worse by so called Muslim scholars (isn’t that an oxymoron?)
In fact in the UK muslims used a teddy bear named Adam (another of the prophets) to raise relief funds … you may be interested to know that in the Quran Mohammed is only the latest of the prophets. He is not preeminent (at least in the Quran).
In fact some Muslims consider the religion to be in danger of becoming polytheist, because of the modern cult of Mohammed, where the hadiths overrule the Quran … of course they keep this to themselves if they want to stay healthy LOL
With the news that the teacher has been jailed for 15 days in Sudan they prove what a detestable creed they are. We in the West are under grave threat (it wasn’t so long ago that some Sharia courts were proposed in Canada for gods sake!) and it will be tried again … probably in France or the UK.
Luckily the European Court of Human Rights has ruled in 2003 and 2004, that “that Sharia is incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy” (13/02/2003), because the Sharia rules on inheritance, women’s rights and religious freedoms violate human rights, as established in the European Convention on Human Rights, but that won’t stop an attempt to introduce it.
Personally I am happy when this evil religion exposes itself for what it is, it just removes a few more blinkers.
