The Sudanese bear naming incident

[Middle-aged Europe]

One thing I'm wondering - I don't remember if we have any Muslims here, but why can people name their kid Muhammad?  Isn't that MORE blasphemous?  (It would seem so to me).

Apparently, it's acceptable for humans, but not for animals, real or otherwise.

But it's an anthromorphic bear!

This is a great reason why I could care less about Darfur

Get informed on the Darfur situation before making any judgements.

I am rather well-informed.  The bottom line is these people are uncivilized and beyond help, any helping them is a waste of money because I'm sure money insults the prophet.

Have a Christian from Darfur come talk to you - it might change your mind.

Or a non-Arabic Muslim from Darfur for that matter...

No, because teddy bears are (relatively) trivial and unimportant.

Not for the boy the bear was named after!

(yeah, that's an stupid argument, but it's also a stupid law, so that evens it out)

I think we should start a religion based on worshipping a teddy bear... like the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The bear's name is Mohammed Jesus "M.J." Pooh.  M.J. is the daughter of our lord and savior Winnie.

She's been pardoned by the Sudanese leader.

So good news from Sudan for a change.
