A British schoolteacher has been arrested in Sudan accused of insulting Islam's Prophet, after she allowed her pupils to name a teddy bear Muhammad.
...
Ms Gibbons, who joined the school in August, asked a seven-year-old girl to bring in her teddy bear and asked the class to pick names for it, he said.
"They came up with eight names including Abdullah, Hassan and Muhammad," Mr Boulos said, adding that she then had the children vote on a name.
Twenty out of the 23 children chose Muhammad as their favourite name.
Mr Boulos said each child was then allowed to take the bear home at weekends and told to write a diary about what they did with it.

Their faith is very very weak. Therefore they feel threatened by all kinds of things that someone secure in their beliefs would not be concerned about.

Maybe because they know that if they protest enough the rest of the world will cave under the pressure. After all, that's what usually happens.
Next time the Muslim world goes beserk over a lousy cartoon, and starts issuing death threats etc, then every newspaper in every city in every democratic nation should print the damn thing! That's the only way to deal with this type of bullying.
Of course, genuine racism or anti Islam sentiment should be condemned. But they are two separate issues.

Ali, u urself seems to be muslim by ur avtar, if iam not mistaken.
coming to ur question Muslims seems to be sensitive not because thy r insecure or thr beliefs are weak, but because they give their religion that much respect and importance.
they can live and die as well for their religion. and as a muslim iam proud of my religion.
may Allah bless u!

Wow .. the 5th time I answer this question today. this is a record.
It's because naming a teddy bear Muhammad is disrespectful to Muhammad (sas), Islam, and Muslims.
