Yeah I hope somehow the British government can get her out..that is just ridiculous. But it's been seen before..the dutch newspaper cartoon got a real bad reaction(and by that I mean burning flags, riots, anti western protests). They also hate south park i'm pretty sure. and anything else that depicts mohammed.

As for why its ok to name a child Mohammed and not the teddy bear, I think it was because its a material toy? Not that its a terrible one, but I think they'd say that its not sacred enough to be named Mohammed. And if they say that then so be it...but its absurd to lash somebody for that...in fact, i'd even call it uncivilized. And let me be clear im calling the act of lashing uncivilized, not the ones who lash...by no means am i deeming their religion based culture as uncivilized.

Cheers to Gandalf for pointing out the largest difference. We've separated church from state. That is no doubt a huge problem in relations between our culture and theirs.
