A Bear Named Muhammed - Or How to Go To Jail

[VoldtaEngler]

It probably seemed like the most innocent of ideas to the newly arrived teacher from England, still settling into life in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. She asked her class of six and seven-year-olds to dress up and name a teddy bear, and keep a diary of his outings. She hoped it would provide material for projects for the rest of the year. And it might have, except for the name the children chose for their bear: Muhammad.

interesting.....of course, what's she doing down there? don't they have teachers of thier own?

[Buster Friendly]

sigh.

why?

why do people insisted on the most stupidly wrong headed things?

sure western economic colonialism must be a real pain in the ass, but dipshit stunts like this make it next to impossible to justifying not bombing the islamist back into the stone age...

...like that whole cartoon debacle a while ago... IT'S A FUCKING TEDDY BEAR!!! not a threat to your cultural and religious beliefs.

[Mr Karl]

however, the teddy bear got it's name from from the president theadore roosevelt, so in a twisted sort of way that could be very offensive

hmmph...........religious extremists
