Anger and dismay as Sudan court jails teacher for 15 days


"Ali Ageb, a member of Gibbons' defence team, said he was "very unhappy" with the verdict and would appeal. "She did this as part of her profession as the teacher," he told reporters outside the court. "She did not intend to insult anybody.""

Christian teacher, Christian school, Muslim country ~ and, they couldn't come up with a better name than Muhammad? I can think of a thousand Christian names for the Teddy that would be more appropriate than Muhammad. Ms. Gibbons probably didn't intend to insult anyone, but she is incredibly ignorant and culturally insensitive.
