“Wary of Mohammed teddy row, UK author changes characters”

LONDON:

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Author Kes Gray said he changed the mole’s name after reading about the fate of British school teacher Gillian Gibbons who is in prison in Sudan for allowing her class to name a teddy bear Mohammed.

Gray told The Sunday Times , London that he “had no idea at all of the sensitivities of the name Mohammed until seeing this case in Sudan” and he added that the Hindu and Muslim names for his animals characters had merely been a way to “embrace other cultures...I had no idea it would backfire like this. I was in Egypt this year and everyone was called Mohammed. I just thought it was a popular name”.

Gray’s book, an illustrated volume called Who’s Poorly Too , has sold 40,000 copies in Britain and abroad over the last eight years it has been in print. But the author says he decided to postpone a re-print and rename the mole to guard against the possibility of trouble from angry Muslims.”
