    Laws against insulting religions

    Do you think they would have gone to this length if she had called the bear Jesus and hung it on a cross?

    Doubt not!

    Double standards here me thinks!

    The school has now been closed until January for fear of reprisals.

    because a group of 6 year olds call their teddy bear Mohammed

    and the lynch mob is gathering. Even if the state decide not to charge the teacher she will be in grave danger for her life if she doesnt leave the country.

    They are making the Spanish Inquisition look like a tolerant and rational idea

    It's a central part of the Christian religion.

    The law must cover all religions or it's a farce.

    Its how some cultures are,

    I am amazed that the teacher was unaware that calling something like this muhamed wouldnt be a big deal.</p>

    My daughter's mate's cat is called MC Weener. I don't know many kids called that either.</p>

    His point was hypothetical and you're just being naughty.</p>

    Why are you amazed

    Lots of Muslim men are called Mohammed

    The Muslim teachers at the school didnt see a problem

    just a minority of fundamentalist bigots - who probably dont even think that women should have a job in the first place who are offended.


    No one believes she deliberately set out to cause offence so I don't get the ridiculous overreaction. If its such a problem just rename the sodding bear

    Obviously she didnt do it deliberately to offend,

    I thought it was commen knowledge that other than humans , to call something else mohammed is an insult.</p>

    I dont think they go big on idols and pictures of the Prophet.</p>

    Jesus is a revered prophet in Islam and a mention of his name is always followed by "Peace be upon Him" the same as any other prophet. The thing that i cant understand is surely aren't all the parents who call their children Mohammed or any of its other spelling variations also creating an image of the prophet just the same?

    Unfortunatley for all concerned, yes.

    Problem is their religious doctrineis riddled with callsfor violent retribution, this is how they think they get their brownie points.</p>

    I am trying not to be,

    however a basic knowledge of Islamic extremists would have meant the teacher wouldnt have called the bear Mohammed.

    She didn't, the kids did

    Say what you like, if she gets 40 lashes I reckon we should declare war on the backwards bunch of hill billy b.astards.
