"Oh my, how ridiculous!"

...was my first reaction to this article about a British teacher in Sudan who is being tried for allowing her class of 7-year-olds to name the class teddy bear "Muhammed." Gillian Gibbons is charged with "inciting religious hatred" and could face 40 lashes and prison time.

My second reaction was just sadness. Muslims are not afraid to make a big public stink about blasphemy and the sacredness of their prophet's name. Why don't Christians stand up and make a stink when our Lord's holy Name is profaned?
