Remember my earlier post about a teacher who was arrested for naming a teddy bear in her classroom Muhammad? Well, she is finally free and now has been moved to a safe area. Gillian Gibbon, the school teacher, was put in jail for 15 days and was finally released. There was a mob outraged at her for naming a teddy bear, Muhammad, and they demanded her execution. Ms. Gillan said that she didnt want anyone resenting the muslims for the protest. I think that the Muslims that were angry apparently didnt know the entire story. Im guessing she was asking the children to name the class mascot and one of the kids wanted to name it Muhammad. I guess she should have been more cautious but she didnt think much of it. I dont know how this got blown out of proportion and how anyone would want to kill someone over allowing a teddy bear to be named Muhammad. But after reading and researching all the religious news in the world i have come to understand that people have belief in their religion on different levels. There are extreme Christians as well as extreme Muslims and there is not much one can do about it. We cannot blame the religion because the central theme of most religions are to love your God and love your neighbor. It is the individuals that create destruction and death and that is what the worlds needs to realize. One cannot hate another religion, but only respect it. Without that respect for one another, the religious wars will never, ever end.
