She didn't choose to call the bear Mohammed. She asked the children what they wanted to call it. Several names were suggested. One boy in the class, whose name is Mohammed wanted to call it after himself. She let the children vote and choose from the suggested names. 20 of the 23 children, including MUSLIM children brought up by MUSLIM parents voted for the name Mohammed. Obviously their parents hadn't taught them that it was an insult to Islam and they are not visitors to the country. They are the indiginous inhabitants. Even flippin Muslims here have said it isn't an insult, even a hardline Muslim spokesman said to name a thing of endearment such as a teddy bear after the prophet is not an insult.

Yet people who come to this country can insult us all they like and if we complain we are criticised.
