Just a little add on; In the German news they are saying that she was imprisoned for 15 days, but people in Sudan are protesting for her to be put to death.
What are your thoughts on this? We had a huge discussion about this yesterday in school after watching it on the news in my politics class. Most people could only shake their heads and ask themselves - 'What has our world come to?'
I asked myself the same question and could only shake my head because I think it is absolutely insane to want to put someone to death because she let her students pick a name, which happened to be Mohammad, a very popular name in the Muslim world, for their teddy bear. They see it as an insult to their prophet. Of course I am not Muslim so I see things differently - but still... What have we come to? It's a Teddy Bear! Thats not the only Teddy bearing the name Mohammad.
