My teddy is called Mohammad


In a region where the name Mohammad ranks number one, it is not difficult to understand why children in school would want to call a dear toy by that name. If calling your teddy Mohammad is disrespectful, what about then nicknaming people with that name "Hamoodi", because that is in its own right a mutilation of the sacred name.
I think what the Sudanese government did was way out of order. I feel sorry for Ms. Gibbons who strived to teach those kids in a culturally understanding way but then got a smack across the face for doing so.
I'm glad that she got freed and didn't have to endure a worse ordeal...

I just wonder, will the Iranian government roar if a child calls his toy/pet Ali?

Please Muslims, wake up and start synapsing for God's sake
