    i dont like it.

    the students chose the name because of its popularity without relating it to the Prophet.

    in christianity, there are two names. one is Jesus , and this isnt used in english or arabic. the other is Christ , and derivatives are used without sensitivity, Christiana , Chris, etc.

    i think the teache needs a good lawyer , and perhaps she will have to leave sudan after the verdict so as not to be a victim of fundamentalists.

    Those people are pathetic :-/

    Why do they call their kids Mohammed if it's classed as blasphemy? We don't go around naming our kids Jesus out of respect, so why do they do that?

    They really need to get some lives!
