What's in a name?

Dammit, after the frankly smegging stupid nonsense the Sudanese authorities have made out of a teddy bear being called Muhammad I have decided reluctantly to abandon my latest get-rich-quick scheme, marketing a range of Muhammad action figures (which would have come complete with accessories, such as a stick for beating shameless women who dare to show their eyes in public and a batch of Danish cartoons to burn). Oh well, back to the drawing board... Seriously though, getting so bloody worked up over schoolkids naming a bloody teddy bear??? Come on, get real you stupid buggers - how weak must your faith be if you think a teddy bear is such a huge threat to it?

  2. Agree strongly with your comments, however it was heartening to see the moderate Muslims standing up to be counted, in the form of Sudanese bloggers and Facebook groups all shouting as one "Free Gillian Gibbons".

    Also I imagine Mohammed himself would be somewhat bemused by all the fuss...
