the thing is, political correctness is made by the politicians and not the minorities

for example 'baa baa black sheep' wasnt complained about at all by black people, instead the politicians thought 'oh no we cant do that!' but the black people arent even bothered

this country = a joke

[tm]

Should be noted that this was in Sudan, a non-secular Islam nation.

[lAscend]

thats all a load of crap :S

[FlyingJesus]

That's ridiculous, Mohammed and it's various spellings is the most popular/common name in the world :S

[Callum.]

why call a teddy that anyway

[jesus]

why call a teddy that anywayperhaps it was a dark colour

[Jordy]

The BBC's correspondent Amber Henshaw said Ms Gibbons' punishment could be up to six months in jail, 40 lashes or a fine.Lashing still happens? Lmao that is so 2000 years ago! I knew that part of the world hadn't progressed than much in the past 2000 years, but that's absolutely ridiculous. 40?! That's a hell of a punishment, especially for a woman. Mind you I wouldn't fancy spending 6 months in a Sudanese jail, the conditions would be awful, lack of food, bullying and rape would probably all go on. So my choice would be the fine for them obvious reasons, but sadly you wouldn't get a choice? :S

It's just got out of hand and is ridiculous, I'm actually speechless things can get this silly?

[Cwmbran]

I like the fact that she's been arrested because the kids named it.

[L!nK.]

lmao @ that

[Jamesy]

I HATE BLOODY PC IN THIS COUNTRY.

It'sbloody outrages and Labours last 10 years has just been one huge farce. **** PC. **** it to hell

[FlyingJesus]

It's not in this country.

[Frodo13.]

Its not in this country. As its a Islamic country, they're many reasons why people may of been offended by this.

Lets pray the women gets the fine :)

[stratosphere]

I remember reading something in the local newspaper that said that a school was forced to change singing "Three Blind Mice" to "Three Visually Impaired Mice".
:rolleyes:

[Roboevil]

To be honest this is Sudan... I don't think they've even discovered fire over there.

[FlyingJesus]

Why is it offensive to name a teddy bear something which many people in Sudan probably name their own children?

I am not racist in anyway but this is beyond a joke. Maybe we should kik up a fuss about if someone sand Baa Baa White Sheep as that could be racist to me :rolleyes:

[Virgin Mary]

Mudhamsandwich is just some Jesus wannabe lol...

[Smits]

Thats stupid there must be like 500000 mohammeds out there

[Janet Snakehole]

Rofl. Thats kinda pathetic tbh. And yes, way OTT!

[Ashley]

:rolleyes:

I read somewhere that some schools have banned the phrase "Brain Storm" and had to change it to "Mind Map" because Brain Storm could be classed as another word for what happens to mentally disabled people.

[Minstrels]

Oh come on thats just plain silly now isn't it? Even if it is in a Islamic country or what ever the children picked the name, she couldn't exactly go 'NO'Z SOZ WE CANTZ CAL IT DATZ OR ITZ WIL B OFFENCIZ LETZ CAL ITZ MR BEAR' now could she?

Just plain silly.

Edit: Too above, our school can't do 'spider diagrams' now we have to call it something stupid because our council believe it will hurt spiders feelings... no joke. :/

[&]

are lashes whips?


that is well OTT :|!

[Virgin Mary]

It's not political correctness it's some oppressive cult about flying planes into buildings or something

[Soy]

Lol, people have the name jesus? I don't see the difference tbh
lol so what, MUHAMMID i just said it in capital letters

[GommeInc]

That's stupid, it's a name "/ Who cares if it could be named after some religious person who probably in reality wasn't all that great. couldn't they take the bears name as a compliment?!

Heck, people are named Muhammad, surely they need to be slaughtered for dare having such a sacred name? Stupid.

[Immenseman]

I read somewhere that some schools have banned the phrase "Brain Storm" and had to change it to "Mind Map" because Brain Storm could be classed as another word for what happens to mentally disabled people.

At our school we're not allowed to call it either the teachers have to call it a 'Though shower', lol. Although I don't think any of them care because like most of the students they think it's pathetic.

[efq]

lol im gna go name my teddy bear mohammed and then tell the local police.

[5,5]

Unless she named it Mohhamed and used it as like a voodoo doll becuase she hated muslims. I see no problem with naming a teddy bear that.

[-Xiangu-]

MOHAMMED MOHAMMED MOHAMMED


JEEZ its stupid tbh anyone who finds the name to be blasphemous (spelling?) is stupid

[lAdmire]

Omg. That's absolutely ridiculous.

[Soil]

what a load of crap. why arrest her for that :S

[&]

[Roboevil]

[Roboevil]

[The Undertaker]

Tbh, that is completely ridiculous.

[-:Undertaker:-]

That's what you get for helping Africa.

[&]

Wth is lashes >.<

[-:Undertaker:-]

Wth is lashes >.<

A plastic or leather whip across the back.

[Herman]

40 lashes is woah. it doesn't really surprise me though, alot of the middle eastern and african islamic countries have really strict laws.

i'm muslim myself, but i don't agree with this. alot of people here are named mohammad (and it's variations).

[Samishlol]

I found this really funny.

[JackBuddy]

Pathetic.

[laurenJP]

Sorry, But that is LAME!
Pathetic this country is turning to.

[k]

I found this really funny.
how's a teacher getting arrested funny?
your humor is very low, mr.

[dannyisnotamazing]

She's been found guilty.

[Soka]

shes being sentenced to 15 days in jail

i find it ridiculous
but amusing.

[Qamp]

Awwww thats abit OTT.

[GommeInc]

I heard on the radio a few hours ago that she maybe sentenced to death, because protestors think the government/prosecutors are being too soft. All this over some berk who's name is given to people who are morally and mentally dirty compared to him. The parents of children named Mohammad should be shot aswell "/

[WarezKid]

She wont die, the SAS will come in and kick ***!

[Technologic]

If a war starts with Sudan..well..urrm..

It's Sudan.

[Abzii]

I heared the children chose that name for it..

[GommeInc]

The Stig from TopGear is in jail in Canterbury for naming a teddy bear Jesus :(

Thankfully she's free :)

[Niall!]

If a war starts with Sudan..well..urrm..

It's Sudan.

They'll fight us off with spears
