No its not. Its not drawn by a person is it? ok the reason why Its haram for us(Muslims) to draw in Islam is because our prophet told us that Whoever draws an animate object shall be told on the day of Judgement to bring it to life which they aren't able to do so then they will be punished, he also told us that the people who will be punished the worst will be those people.

It's been designed (drawn) and sewn by people..
Oh, I knew that one before.:okay:
 
:sl:
Bloody hell, this case is all over the place! Every 10 minutes it's being shown on the news.

Bottom line is:

The name Muhammad is soooooo common, it's one of the most common names in the world. The bear being named Muhammad was the name of the child who named it!

But because a parent complained (probably misunderstood it at firs, if not they made a big mistake) the school had to act accordingly.

Hopefully, the teacher will not be given a punishment (since she hasn't committed the crime) and the news will report this - they seem to be one sided in this affair, concentrating heavily on the punishment for blasphemy in Sudan....which is rather annoying.

But the question is why is it happening. Why is there such different gulf between they way you think and the people who want her to have the 40 lashes think given that you have this infallible unchanging tangible book that sets out a clearly defined set of rules on how to live?

Because there are dumb people in the world, that's why. Dumb people who come from the same source and follow the same things but still get 5 from 2+2. Why? Because they get dogmatic with the punishments etc, so much that it blinds them from the situation at hand.
 
This is way off topic, so forgive me.

If chess is Haram, why do you choose a chess piece as your avatar aamirsaab?

Remember:
Sudan's top clerics said in a statement Wednesday that the full measure of the law should be applied against Gibbons, calling the incident part of a broader Western "plot" against Islam.

Having a central textual authority can give people with widely differing intepretations of it a real sense of certainty that they know the truth, and that everybody else is wrong. Centuries of history show this to be true.

See, this is a prime example of how bad some people get blinded (note, this is not directed at wilber).
 
The court also ordered all men named Muhammad to be deported forthwith to Sweden.


(Just kidding)
 
I hope she gets out scott free and they give her an apology for the hurt and distress they have caused her. She is there teaching.... thats all! save your bloody religious laws for people who believe in them! personally I only heard of Muhammed the prophet when it was blasted over the bloody news when someone drew that cartoon (the ones you see everyday in most of the tabloids in the free world) and im sure her and the majority of british/christians are the same. how o earth was someone supposed to know that letting children name a bloody teddy muhammed against the law????? its like a bloody medievel law. I find it hard to believe that countries in this day and age still have religion in their laws. and rule it with an iron fist.
if we can accept their thousands of immigrants and excersice tolerance im sure they can repay the gesture and do it for one of ours!!!!:thumbs_do

(just joking by the way, dont get all "jihad" on me!!!) :D
 
*sigh* - seems like people from this thread haven't been behaving, therefore the thread will have to be closed for the time being. If theres any updates, then some mod can re-open the thread.


Mark, since you're new to the forum - we expect good behaviour from both sides, whether they are muslims or non muslims. :) So please, do not insult the religion. Thankyou.


Heres a fatwa response to the situation incase anyone wants to read about the Islamic stance to it again;
