A Teddy Bear is not an animal. It is a toy, usually loved and cherished by children. It is not an object of ridicule or derision. It is a comfort to little children. I for one think that Ms Gibbons' is being held to account for the choice of the children. Why weren't the children arrested too? They chose the name. And, presumably, as Muslims, they would know the meaning of the word 'mohammed'. Muslim people claim to embrace tolerance, but only when non-muslims must be tolerant to them. When it comes to muslims being tolerant, there seems to be a double standard. If Gillian Gibbons is convicted, I will start a campaign. I will start it by buying baby pigs and puppies, naming them all Mohammed, and giving them to rural families on the condition that they be called Mohammed. Let's show muslims the respect they afford to others. Gillian Gibbons arrest is outrageous. A Teddy Bear is not an animal. It is a toy, usually loved and cherished by children.
