Kind of a rhetorical question. 
But I’m just curious to know if I can find, somewhere online, something written by someone who actually thinks the teacher who was in charge of a classroom that named a teddy bear “Muhammed” actually deserves to be punished. I just want to see firsthand just exactly what the thought process is supposed to be.
Probably if anything is written it’s in Arabic, (or, pardon my ignorance, one out of whatever languages they speak in Sudan) I know, but who knows.

There is internet access in Sudan but it is quite censored as far as I know. I don’t think you find much support for punishing her… certainly none of the local UAE articles I have read in the papers here support it. There is also very little support here for punishing the Saudi rape victim that has been in the news lately. Sudan is a deeply troubled place which has been destroyed by years of civil war… this tends to create a fairly warped and fanatical religious conservatisim. Sudan is also a bit unique in this regard as the north is mostly Muslim while the south is Christian/Animist.
I didn’t hear this news story. I wonder how they felt about Mohammed Ali?
Ummmm…the same as any other Muslim called Mohammed?* Granted, he started off by joining the Nation of Islam, but later moved to mainstream Islam.
This also happened a while ago:
The beheaded body of a Sudanese newspaper editor has been found on the outskirts of the capital, Khartoum.
…
Last year, he was put on trial for blasphemy after his pro-government paper reprinted an article questioning the parentage of the prophet Muhammad.
