Yeah its a sacred name that they give to 80% of there children. Its not offensive they're responce is offensive. You can't claim yeah I named my kid Mohammed but I can't name a teddy bear Mohammed cos its offensive. If she'd called the Teddy Bear cockgoblin I could understand parents getting upset.

It's a teddy bear and a bunch of 6/7 year olds, I fail to see how that can be a threat to anything. The problem seems to be that it turns the bear into an icon, which would indicate that they are worshipping the bear...

All hail the bear ... who cannot be named
does seem like there was no ill will involved, people of this cult get overly worked up over a simple name. Besides it's the kids fault they did the naming. String em up from the nearest tree to serve as a lesson for the others I say.

looks like some fundies have latched on this and are trying to get her the maximum sentance which was something like jail+fine+40 lashes.
