Why would a Muslim say that a British person insulted Mohammed knowing full well that she did not?

Answer 1

guess its abit when someone says they dont believe in god and a christian gets insulted...just the way it is.

Answer 2

Is this about the teddybear called Mohammed? The teacher didn't even name the bear. She asked her class to put forward some names, then told them about voting and got them to vote for their favourite. Mohammed was chosen by 80% of the class. It was when Mohammed the teddybear went home with individual class members, with a log book to record activities, that parents began to complain. Miss Gibbons could get 40 lashes for that little blunder.

I think you have to be a little extra cautious if you are teaching in a Christian school in an Islamic country; even if most of your pupils are Muslim.

Answer 3

It is your assumption that they know that the British person did not insult Muhammad.

Actually a lot of Muslims think she did naming a toy which represent an animal (bear) Muhammad. That makes Muhammad an animal.

Answer 4

Muslims are very touchy about everything to do with The Prophet Mohamed, if she had done this in the UK she would probably have found herself in deep water, to do it in a Muslim country is just plain stupid. 40 lashes is a typical punishment out there, but can be symbolic, unless your poor.
This classroom teddy is common practice in the UK, but you wont find any of them called Jesus, or Budah.

Answer 5

Insults are personal in nature, and the person claiming to be insulted gets to dictate the terms.

Its a shame, but further proof that religion is dangerous

Answer 6

But, I think the issue is a Teacher, in any culture is supposed to have a strong foundation in knowing what is best for the kids, not be so lackadaisical as to make such an evident mistake.
I think they just want to replace her with their own teachers, those who they are sure will know better.

Answer 7

Either it is a matter of mis-interpretation by the hearer, or it is a matter of tendentious want for quarrel, or want for bloody conflict, or for making oneself noticed.

A British person may be of the Christian layout, or of something comparable, where they have Prophets, and Saints, that they more or less eagerly adore and represent in solemn pictures and statues in their churches and temples.

Christians more or less solemnly declare that you shall not name Almighty God in vain, but in reality they go on naming Him in all possible contexts, imploring Him, even loudly bluntly cursing Him, but one thing is certain,

that is, that in modern times nobody of the Christian layout is ever legally condemned to stoning, beheading, hanging, or any whatsoever other bloody formal punishment, under the accusation of blasphemy.

But the World is of diverse more or less stiff inbred mentalities, even merciless and blunt bloody mentalities, and different religions have different utmost holy rules, and even some neighboring religion, declaredly adoring the same God that is adored by Christians, and loudly publically shouting out His name and His greatness, may have and eagerly want to enact some quite nasty forms of bloody punishment for the blasphemous, or for those who have insulted of the Prophet, even for reasons that the ever merciful Prophet might be quite indifferent to.

This simply may mean that we better be quite careful, even utmost fearful, about what we say, about what we may be heard or reported of saying, about how what we say may be interpreted by the conflict-seeking hearer or hearers. They might eagerly want to ferociously kill you in order to be rewarded with a place in yonder Heaven, in Holy Paradise.

Answer 8

Do you mean the Mohammed, the founder of Islam?

Correct me if i am wrong, but he's been dead a long time. How can the dead be offended at anything?

Answer 9

Listen, in Islam it' NOT what your intensions are, you are judged on what you actually did.

If your an infidel they have to side with the muslims as it says so in the Koran. If they side with the infidel then they are going against their muslim brother or sister.

Worse yet, your government is letting these very people into the country to live next door to YOU.

Answer 10

Why does (enter any tribe, clan, sect, denomination, institution opposed to your point of view) say (enter any claim you wish to make about the above-referenced tribe, clan, sect, denomination or institution)?

We have no need to verify any claims made, as long as we insert "Why" at the beginning of a sentence. Our logic is the logic of the television commercial.

Answer 11

The literacy rate in Sudan is about 60 percent.
This is what ignorance breeds.
