OTT? It's just a name for Christ sake, can't even name something without insulting Islam! The prats! I hate all this PC stuff. :@

*REMOVED* - What is this world coming to

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

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

thats all a load of crap :S

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

why call a teddy that anyway

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?

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

lmao @ that

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

It's not in this country.

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 :)

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:

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

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

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.

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 :|!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

MOHAMMED MOHAMMED MOHAMMED


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

Omg. That's absolutely ridiculous.

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