A British schoolteacher has been arrested in Sudan accused of insulting Islam's Prophet, after she allowed her pupils to name a teddy bear Muhammad.
Colleagues of Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, said she made an "innocent mistake" by letting the six and seven-year-olds choose the name.
Ms Gibbons, who joined the school in August, asked a seven-year-old girl to bring in her teddy bear and asked the class to pick names for it, he said.
"They came up with eight names including Abdullah, Hassan and Muhammad," Mr Boulos said, adding that she then had the children vote on a name.
Twenty out of the 23 children chose Muhammad as their favourite name.
"Certainly she is also very worldly wise and she is obviously aware of the sensitivities around Islam." |
Now how can I do something similar at my school? |

I see....so female circumcision a-okay? But calling a teddy Mohammad not okay? Gotcha.
Any massive natural disasters on the cards in that region? |

Honour killings = okay
Cartoons in a newspaper = bad
Seriously, I would love to see how humans 500 years from now will look back in history at Islam. They will probably say 'What a fucking gongshow'. |
