Infamous teddy bear



The innocent teacher whose class named a teddy bear "Mohammad" is being sentenced to jail for naming the bear after the prophet. She is also being threatened by hundreds of Muslim's in the country that they will execute her. Gillian Gibbons went on trial Thursday on charges of inciting religious hatred by letting her students name a teddy bear Mohammad, a crime punishable by up to 40 lashes and six months in jail. The devastating part is that this teacher was unaware that what she was doing was culturally incorrect and now she is going to be punished because the country is so religious.
