After being jailed for naming a teddy bear Mohammad after a child in the class, British teacher Gillian Gibbons is safely back home in Britain.
This is miraculous in itself in that the population got all worked up over it and called for her execution.
In spite of all that happened she is very gracious about it all.
Referring to the school where she worked, she said: “The support I received there was legendary and I will miss my class and colleagues immensely….
…When asked about the teddy bear row, she said: “I don’t really know enough about it. It is a very difficult and delicate area.
“I was very upset to think I might have caused any offence.
“I never imagined this would happen. I am just an ordinary primary school teacher.
“I went out there to have a bit of an adventure and got more of an adventure than I bargained for - I don’t think anyone could have imagined it would have snowballed like this.”
As usual, the radical Muslims got all worked up about something that was insignificant.
Many boys are named Mohammad and no one kills their parents or the child for naming him that.
Teddy bears are cute and cuddly and to name one Mohammad would seem to soften the image of such a horrible man as the prophet.
It’s very fortunate that two Muslims from the British parliament went over to Sudan to negotiate her release or she may very well have been killed.
Thank God she got back home safely without having to serve her entire sentence.
