I would think that no one could be named Muhammed.

Because the teddybear is an inanimate object and it is haraam(forbidden) in Islam to name an animal or inanimate object after one of the prophets(PBUT*). But to name your son after one of the prophets(PBUT*) is a great honor and respect to the prophet(PBUT*) that your son is named after. Plus it might promote idolatry if you named an inanimate object after one of the prophets(PBUT*).

I'm wondering if there's a list of items that CAN be named muhammed...and another list of things that CAN NOT be named muhammed. And perhaps ANOTHER list of things where the jury is still out.
It sure does seem to be yet another example of intolerance...where criticism is met with violence.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Says a LOT about a certain "belief system", doesn't it?

Actually, Muhammad or Muhammed or Mohammed is the most popular name in the World and I see no reason for anyone to be persecuted for naming their teddy bear Muhammed, but when you do so to try to deceive little Muslim children then then that is crossing the border.
Why do non -Muslims think that Muslims should allow themselves to be tricked by arrogant Christians?
Peace!

Because in Islam, Muhammed is a sacred name and we wanna keep it that way. (im not saying that justifies the punishment they gave her)
Look at how the name "jesus" gets ridiculed and abused nowadays. Ive seen people giving the name to their dogs..

This was all over the news, when will people realize that the Islamic religion is the sickest and most violent false religion in the world today, if there ever is a religious culture that needs to be annihilated it's Islam, God help us all when they take over.

No offense, but why would you name your teddy bear Muhammed? Why not Fred or something?

why do questions about teddy bears named muhammed keep popping up? name it whatever you want, no religion existing today is even close to being right. name it jesus christ or buddha or confucius or Zeus or whatever you want, who cares. no one will put you on trial over a teddy bear, and if they do, you'll suffer nothing but fifteen minutes of fame, because that's just ridiculous enough to get you on the news.

You can name your teddy bear what ever you want. Anyone who says otherwise is disrespecting my religion, "The Order of the Teddy Bear". Which makes them infidel and you don't have to listen to infidels.

Because people are so sensitive about the possibility of something being considered to be an insult to Mohammed they don't stop to consider if it is insulting.

Beats me. Since there are many men named Jesus.
Would you endure 40 lashes to be named so?
