A British teacher who allowed pupils to name a teddy bear Muhammad is jailed for 15 days in Sudan.

Its crazy!!
This is why its Important we dont allow sharia law to come into Britain!!
and the Bear was named after a Child,the child chose the name!

There was an asian guy on the news last night who works for the race relation board he said he was named Mohammed and they had wrote to the Goverment begging them not to punish the teacher.

Madness - when as stated above, there are many boys/men with the same name ................ !!!!

Actually,the Muslim council Of Great Britain have also come out in support for this lady.
Which Im glad about.

And what will our goverment do about it.. NOTHING

Thats true Anne,Here In Spain the name Jesus is very common for boys!
I have 3 teddies I think I will call them.
Jesus,Muhammed and Abraham;-))

Yeah Roxanne I am so pleased as well before we get all stuff about if that happened here blah blah.....which is normally down the silly billys PC brigade...

Ed Zep,what can they do? its not in the governments power to do anything.

Hmmm soon we will just have to call them 'bear' - the Teddy will be banned in case men named Edward are offended *rolls eyes*

(ooops - no offence Ed lol _)

It is a well known fact that the Sudanese are one one of the worst blasphemous Muslim countries going , yet here they are trying to act like the big tough religious no nonsense country. Well hows about responding by withdrawing all aid that we give them which runs into millions , withdraw all english personal and let them live by the Sharia law properly and see how they get on

I was disgusted at the outcome of this farce,
15 days in prison and deportation for "daring" to name a teddy bear after a pupil. So much for being a multi cultural world.

and then If we do withdraw our aid Innocents will suffer,I dont think thats an option personally.and I dont think the lady who is in Gaol would want that to happen either.

Roxanne with all due respect this innocent lady could have had 40 lashs , is that not suffering , so we let one of our citizens suffer in Jail but thats alright cos we are British and we dont mind as long as the rest of the world do'snt suffer ,

Great

no wonder all the foreigners

are over here

this is a outrage

but its ok for them to burn our flag

and murder our aid workers

i think its an absolute disgrace

and our parlament need to act NOW

to get his lady home and safe

grrrrr dont get me strated on the pc brigade

I feel the Foreign Office have done a very good job of diffusing the whole sorry situation and Sudan has saved face by just 15 days and deportation. Who knows what the repercussions would have been if she had been publicly flogged.

And no I don't think she should have arrested for what was an innocent naming of a teddy bear. It wasn't meant as an insult, but it highlights the difference in thinking of Christian people and SOME Islamic people.

When in Rome.....!

It is a shame we don't do the same over here and deport all those from abroad who fail to comply with our laws.

I agree with Twizzle.xx
