Teddy bear named Muhammad being sold and $1 from each sale goes to support the USO (who support the troops)!
THIS IS SICK, RIGHT?

gitanafille--exactly. They say it isn't a war against Islam but then they go do this. I am all for human rights and I think the mess with that teacher was wrong I don't think she meant any harm...but to do this to capitalize on it for profit and to "support the troops(by way of the USO" is a joke

Be patient, sister.
Yes, it is sick. Maybe they meant it the way they say it, or maybe something else.
Just keep the faith that this will not go on forever. Remember, the more they mention "Muhammad", the more they will remember that name.
It bears the meaning "the praiseworthy",right?
What will happen when you mention something over and over again for an indefinite time? This is something akin to dzikr. Somehow, you will come to love it. So, just let it be. We may never know what Allah have in store for them, that is only for Allah to know.
We will never know, it might perhaps they will come to a serius investigation of the Holy Prophet(pbuh) background out of curiousity and finally come to love our dear prophet(pbuh) and thus, turn to Islam in the course of their lives.
I certainly pray that this will be the case. Anything is possible, for Allah have power over all things.
Masha'Allah.
Wallahu'alam. Allah know best.

I had heard about this before at work, but I'm wondering...wasn't Muhammad a name before "the" Muhammad? A lot of people are named Muhammad. Joshua (an older form of "Jesus") was the name of a stuffed dog I had when I was little. Never mind that it was actually a Snoopy, I called him Joshua.
Anyway...I don't know if the bear is meant to be offensive or not. Shouldn't we try to give everyone, to the greatest degree possible, the benefit of the doubt? Not that I support the Iraq war though; I don't. Just my thoughts.

"The main goal of Teddy Bear Muhammad⢠is to spread our fundamental belief in human rights"
Yeah sure. They dont want to 'spread fundemental belief' their main goal of selling the teddy bears is to make fun of Islam and rob other people off their money so they can support the US troops who kill inoccent people in poor countries. What is this world coming to? Just you wait on judgement day, oh how they'll all burn!

Why are they mixing religion with the war in Iraq? Its disgusting and I hope someone audits them to see if they really are giving money to the troops. This shows the ignorance that exists in the USA and makes me sad. I think I will start selling Bush teddy bears that say Blood for Oil and donate the money to the troops.

As salaamu a'alaikym.
Insha'Allah, ths is a very sad thing in that it not only defames Islam and the Prophet Muhammad(sallaahu'alaihi wasalaam) but also defames thwe very ideals upon which this nation was founded, demonstrate the hypocracy of its peoples and government and will only cause more hate among those with different views and religous understandings.
May Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala, guide us all to the truth.
Ma'a salaam

hmm supporting the troops,,hmm and then the west wonders why muslims hate them?
well atleast they are showing their true colors now.
----------------------------
butterfly: in this case its the intention that is behind naming the teddy bear after our beloved Messenger, they are doing this because they know how dear Muhammad is to us. But they will rott in hell for that.
and my child and his teddy bear are not a comparison.

as the first posting so rightly said, God will judge,those who insult the prophet pbuh, do it to their own detriment, and it only serves to strengthen the resolve of muslims.
edit-butterfly, you really dont know the first thing about islam do you?
