You are exactly right, of course, but I think the whole controversy has missed one important point: The teddy bear was named for Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican president who championed American interests over every country in the world.
I am deeply insulted, as a patriotic American, that that British woman would besmirch the memory of Theodore Roosevelt by naming the teddy bear after a child-abusing, demon-worshiping pervert, to wit: Mohamed. She ought to be serving her 15-days jail time here.
Whichever she did not understand Islam at all and that is worrying to me her working in such a place and not understanding what could happen to her. She did herself, her family and her country which now has to campaign for her release any favours.
She committed 2 fundamental errors here, Muslims do not name anything other than their children after their so called prophet and my understanding is that a bear in many Muslim circles is considered an unclean animal as it is a spiteful one.
She should have steered clear of both and chosen a different cuddly toy and name, even if there was a vote on the name she would have moderated the vote and could have changed the name.
Having said all of this her treatment was despicable and something that no country should condone it.
There is that. True about the Teddy and insult somewhat. I’m sure she intended no insult to Teddy or Muhammmmmmmud.
Though . . . undoubtedly, she was trying to fit in and go with the flow in a strange culture who’s people she loved.
I have no trouble having compassion for her.
Especially against the murderous demonized ragheads.
