Oh no!
A (british born) teacher in the Sudan tries to teach her first grade students a lesson in democracy and lets them vote to name a teddy bear. They vote (20 to 3) to name him "Mohammad".
You can guess the rest. The teacher was arrested, is facing 40 lashes and a lynch mob formed outside the police station.
I think those students found out all about democracy in Sudan, and the Muslim world in general. Very educational.

I'll bet I beat LGF, by the way, since I got my story from Harry's Place.
That's the cutest little "I love you" bear LGF chose for "The hideous teddy bear of blasphemy"
I think the picture Sky News chose is actually a cropped photo of the original Winnie the Pooh, owned by A. A. Milne's son Christopher Robin, now in a museum (in New York, I think).
