Re: A Teddy Bear Called ...............
mohammed must be hammered into these young children from a very early age , and must have been the first thing that springs to mind. but why should the teacher get fourty lashes or imprisonment for it? after all it was it was there children that named it .how would sudan react if britain did the same to a sudanise commiting a crime over here? totally over the top!

Saint Dismas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia a bit of useless info that may come in useful in a pub quiz apologies for the thread wander folks :D :D back to the original subject , maybe if the teacher had remembered she was British and not tried 'going native' and named the Bear Rupert all this fuss have been avoided :rolleyes: |

BTW Mohammed wasn't a God (real or nimaginary) he was a human being who declared himself to be a prophet of God. He wasn't the only person ever to have had that name so to make the assumption that a teddy bear called Mohammed is being named after the prophet is a dangerous assumption. To the children who chose the name it would probably jsut be another name by which some of their playmates are called (even if the parents did name them in honour of the prophet. It's OK to give the name to people but not toys or animals.) Quote:

Thus we have 'traditional names' which may or may not be the actual names - bit like Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar for the 3 wise men (or kings according to some traditions) who brought gifts to the Christ Child (who wasn't born on December 25th) So it depends where you look for information. According to one apocryphal book the good thief was called Titus and he first shows up when Mary and Joseph are fleeing into Egypt with the baby Jesus to escape Herod's 'slaughter of the innocents'. He supposedly stopped other thieves from robbing the holy family. That story refers to the other thief as Dumachus. But then again even in the canonical Gospels we get one person being referred to by different names (Dorcas being a classic example) depending on who is writing about them. The names according to the Russian Orthodox church are Dismas for the good guy and Gestas for the bad guy. Interestingly the French name Dumas (as in Alexandre Dumas who actually called Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie ) is supposedly derived from Dismas. |

The Church of the Good thief is a beautiful little gem. In the roof tiles there are images of three crosses. The Church of the Good Thief, Kingston, Ontario And if any of you are lucky enough to visit our city, it is well worth a look. It is situated in the Village of Portsmouth, close to the Portsmouth Olympic Harbor, and the Ports Tavern, a great little pub where even a Brit will feel at home. Sorry for the wander, but, who knows, there maybe a bear called Jesus inside. That is, inside the church, not the pub.:D

Re: A Teddy Bear Called ...............
I just read the article in the "Telegraph" on line. And that seems to suggest that she is off the hook. Maybe the news on Sky is more current, or maybe there are conflicting reports.
