I fail to understand how a teacher could not see

what might come of naming a stuffed animal 'Muhammad' in Sudan.
A British teacher facing 40 lashes in Sudan over a school teddy bear named Muhammad will discover today whether she will be charged with blasphemy.

Gillian Gibbons, 54, is being questioned for a second day by police in Khartoum on suspicion of insulting Islam's prophet for allowing her seven-year-old pupils to give the toy the name of the prophet.

Sudan. You know, the place where they still practice slavery? Especially on blacks and 'non-believers'? Where they use sharia law? What the hell was she thinking?
