All of a Sudan, riots break out in Khartoum, not because several hundred thousand (and counting) Muslim and non-Muslim men, women and children have been killed by government sponsored militias in Darfur, but because “da furry” teddy bear was named Mohammed by 6 and 7 year-old children. Islamic fundamentalists call for a volunteer teacher from Britain to be put to death for allowing such a heinous crime. The good news: she was released and deported to Britain after tense negotiations; the bad news: it’s business as usual in Khartoum with no more reports of righteous indignation or riots.
