Teacher arrested over teddy bear
Nov. 27 - There's been an angry reaction to the arrest of a British primary school teacher who allegedly insulted Islam by allowed her students to name a teddy bear Mohammad.
Gillian Gibbons, a 54-year-old teacher at the Unity High School in Khartoum, was arrested on Sunday after complaints from parents. Teachers at the school said Gibbons had asked her class of 7-year-olds to choose their favourite name for the teddy bear, and 20 of the 23 had voted for Mohammad.
