Okay, an Brittish school teacher teaching English in Sudan asks her students to name the class teddy bear. The students chose the name Mohammed. The teacher was subsequently arrested by the Sudanese Government for this and was facing "40 lashes." She was tried and sentenced to 15 days in jail. Now there are people calling for her death over this.
What the heck is that all about? I know it's a clash of culture, but this is ridiculous. Your thoughts?
