Teacher arrested in Sudan for naming teddy Mohammed

Updated:12:24, Monday November 26, 2007
A British teacher has been arrested in Sudan for letting children name a teddy bear Mohammed.

Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, was detained on Sunday on suspicion of insulting Islam's prophet.

The teacher let her class of seven year olds choose the name as part of a school project.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm a British national was arrested by police in Sudan yesterday.

"We are providing consular assistance."

A spokesman for the British Embassy in Khartoum said Ms Gibbons taught at Unity High School in central Khartoum.

He said: "The children chose the name because it is very common here.

"This happened in September and the parents did not have a problem with it.

"We are in contact with the authorities here and they have visited the teacher and she is in a good condition."

A source close to the school said one teacher at the school was angered by the naming of the teddy bear and complained to the headmistress.

No, just to the mental home. Don't worry though, all the walls there are soft to hitted and you'll have a chance of winning the daily intelligence quiz.

I have found video of the bear in question.

Quite fitting given he was a pedo too.

Or a fine. Not sure exactly how they pass on the money to Mohammed though? Will he need it? Or maybe the government 'looks after it for him' I dunno? I do know they aren't gonna make a big statue of him with it anyway .

Naming a teddy bear Mohammad is idolatry. That is why you'll never see pictures of Prophet Mohammad in a mosque or Muslim art. No "thing" can represent Mohammad or it's idolatry. Why do you think Muslims were so angry when the European newspapers published caricatures of Mohammad?

These petty incidents re-assure me that those "people" are fucked in the head.

Or is it the precise spelling that makes it not ok?

All of you idol worshippers that name objects "Mohammed" should be shot.

Even put a photo of him up ^^^. What about the people who sell posters of him?

The people who take pictures of him? What if you see him? Cut out your eyes?
