I thought, according to the Sharia Law that his name is so "sacred" that there must be no connections to his name. I'm refering to that teacher who name a teddy bear after Muhammed (police beat upon him). Now the Sudanese government wants to throw her jail??

I really don't have any disrespect for Islam or Muhammed (peace be upon him). I just asked this question to provoke reactions.

Before Jumping to any conclusion. Keep these points in mind.
1. unlike christians muslims do not consider pets(animals) same as children. In general they don't name their pets with muslim name, mostly they name their pets with christian names like, Tony, Tom etc.
2. From Islamic point of view animals are inferion being compare to human being.
3. Muslims have extremely high regard for all prophets and specifically Prophet Mohammed.
4. In bible all the great personalities are associated with worst kind of sins. King David PBUH committing adultery, King Solomon worshipping idols, Lot commiting incest with his daughters, Juda commiting incest with his daughter-in-Law. We muslim take strong exception is such defamation of characters and believe that these are fabrication to corrupt the image great personalities.
I personally do not consider it as an act of blasphemy, she probably did no know how muslims percieve this act. However, there is something called constitution in Sudan and she violated the constitution while being in Sudan. It was her responsibility to know about Islamic sentiment while being in Sudan. I think she is punished only for carelessness, otherwise punishment of blasphemy is death.
People in different regions and religions have different way of seeing and percieving the things, you have no right to believe that wicked western civilization, purely based on uncontrolled freedom and hedonism is ideal for mankind.

It's just another example of the problems priests create when people think they have to obey them. From the Muslims I've worked with, many of them called Mohammed, Islam seems to be a very restricting religion that gives its adherents little opportunity to think for themselves. I found some of the better-educated Afghanis more cynical about the tosh they'd been fed but others seemed content to do as they were told without questioning who it is that really benefits from their devotion.

It's all a horrible misunderstanding. Teddy bears in Sudanese culture are vicious and dangerous animals apparently. No, really that's what I read.
The Sudanese will be sorry now they realise no teachers want to work there.

Interesting question, do you think the militants of the Islamic regime will now draw up a black list of cops that have beaten on the Mohammed's of the western world?

because of the fact Jesus and the different prophets do not could desire to have their butts kissed with petty signs and indicators of comprehend. You the two comprehend them or you do not. The "pbuh" is in ordinary terms a for coach to make one seem to be greater respectful than somebody else.

Because they got tired after yelling AHMED many thousands came running. So mohammad was the next best option.

What I'd like to know is how Cassius Clay got away with changing his name to Mohammed Ali.
Or maybe that's obvious ;-)

yeh very funny... and no his name is not sacred from humans.
I just can't believe how stupid you people are spending your whole day trying to prove Islam wrong and insulting Muslims the whole time when you know NOTHING about Islam except what your US-funded media tells you.
What you think you're a funny guy now?
Grow up man, take a stand, stop messing around, one minute insulting Islam and the next saying you have nothing against it!
