    I was just thinking the same thing. If its so blasphemous then why allow people to name their children it?

    You aren't proposing denying the Sudan the right to formulate laws based on their religious beliefs are you?

    They might even uphold the right to teach their children that Atheism is wrong. :wink:

    Is Sudan going to sanction me for my actions in the USA? If so, then they are inflicting their religious beliefs on me and I think that I might take exception to that. PDT_Armataz_01_35

    A representative of the MCB was on British TV this morning and even he said that holding this teacher is completely absurd. He also made the interesting point that rather than taking offense, the other teachers and parents should feel proud that their children are embracing their religion by using the name "Muhammed."

    Ah, I dunno. You can't do anything anymore without offending :?

    The real issue here is that the muzzies are ginning up an excuse to flay an infidel.

    Well yeah, but it's how they run their country. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're right in their actions or anything!
    Hopefully everything'll go smoothly and they'll realise she meant no harm.
