Which brings me to the subject of the English Teacher being held in the Sudan for allowing her class to call a teddy-bear Mohammed! Admittedly, no one took offence but the fanatics, but honestly, I.M.O. she deserves almost all she gets for being so darned STUPID and insensitive in such a situation! I`m an atheist, but even I would do a double-take if children here called a teddy-bear "Jesus". Don`t get me wrong - I don`t agree with Sharia law, but I do believe in the idea of "When in Rome, do as the Romans" - or at least be careful not to risk offending anyone. For someone who is alleged to have a keen interest in other cultures - well - words fail me!
Neither would I like anyone that thoughtless and just plain silly to teach my children!
