So, a British woman working as an elementary school teacher in Khartoum, Sudan was arrested for "insulting religion, inciting hatred and showing contempt for religious beliefs" after her pupils, who's ages ranged from 6-8 years old, named the classroom teddy bear "Muhammed."
The pupils were apparently allowed to vote on which name to give the teddy bear and most voted for the name Muhammed - following the complaints of several parents, the teacher, Gillian Gibbons, 54, was arrested and now faces, if convicted, "six months in jail, 40 lashes or a fine."
