A Teddy Bear Called ...............

Think it is absolutely disgusting. The fact that she could face the lash is beyond my comprehension. These people are like savages!!!
 
absolutely ridiculous, the kids picked the name, and they are natives, people should think twice before going out to these places.:rolleyes:
 
what a load of B*****ks!!!

most stupidest thing i have ever heard!!!


(sorry for my french;))
 
And then muslims who emigrate to saner parts of the world wonder why people in their adopted homes don't like them, and why they are the victims of rascism. I am starting to think that the people of Quebec have the right idea.

How come it is always them crying racism? We are the ones being told what we can and can't say. I think there is as much if not more racism against white people!!!

I have to aggree, there is at least as much racism levelled at white people in my opinion. Ironically for having said that, some will probably brand the quote itself as racist :(
 
Don't know if it's true but I've been told in the past that if you put Christmas lights up there you get arrested for it, yet we have to allow every religion free reign to do as they please, we even have divali lights in most cities and big towns now.
I asked the council to give me a grant for a nativity display to put in a shed 'stable' with a perspex type front outside our C of E church, I got knocked back, told the council can't be seen to supporting the faith. We're outsiders there and we're outsiders here now.

You should have said that you were making a Mosque….they would have sent a Council work team round to build the display for you.
 
I suppose the perceived insult is that the bear was named after the prophet, but the bear could quite easily be named after the hundreds of kids called Mohammed. Oh hang on a mo though, they are named after Mohammed aren't they?

It's a totally OTT reaction.
 
This poor lady was, in my opinion, being a very good teacher. The teddy bear idea is similar to one that my granddaughter's school has. Each class has a soft toy and children are chosen on merit (not just work, behaviour as well) to take it home and write about what they did with it. It encourages them to plan activities and helps their essay writing skills, plus of course they do their best to be the one who gets to take it home.

So this woman let the children decide what to call their teddy and Mohammed was their favourite name. How, in the name of Allah, is that offensive to the Prophet? It sounds as though some idiot got the notion - hey, the infidel is insulting Mohammed - and the rest have followed like sheep. Isn't that how jihad gets off the ground?

It's 20 years since I was in Saudi Arabia but that was the most racist place I've ever been to. Perhaps racist isn't the correct word, shall I say religionist? They would not tolerate the practising of any religion other than Islam and the Lebanese we lived among (my husband was working for a Lebanese company), who were mostly devout Christians, had to have an "underground" priest, an engineer in his day job, who held mass in people's homes. If he had been discovered he would, at the very least, have been thrown out of the country. They allowed Christmas cards to be sold but they couldn't have the word Christmas on them - they said Happy Holiday - and they couldn't depict the nativity.

If this country treated a Muslim from Sudan the way this lady has been treated there would be uproar and international repercussions. Why isn't the British Government going in with guns blazing? Oh yes, I forgot, we are so tolerant, aren't we?
 
mohammed is a very popular name... just like jesus is popular in spain... i can honestly say, as a catholic, that i wouldnt be bothered if she called it jesus.

Jesus wasn't an uncommon name in Biblical times either. The thief who was released was called Jesus bar Abbas (normally referred to simply as Barrabas). Jesus is referred to in the NT as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus bar Joseph to identify him specifically from others with the same name.

I wonder if there were other people called Mohammed around the time of the prophet?
 
:rofl38: Hilarious .. come home Gillian where you belong. How anybody can threaten people with jail for naming a stuffed toy after a 'non-existent god' such as Mohammed is beyond my belief. There again, I am an atheist, and always find these type of issues very, very sad and misguided.

Mmmm . have a little stuffed toy somewhere in the house .. think I will christen him Jesus !! Can I expect the Christian mafia at my door in the morning .. :eek:
