KHARTOUM (AFP) - Sudanese police have arrested a British school teacher and accused her of insulting the Muslim prophet after allowing six-year-old pupils to name a teddy bear Mohammed, officials said on Monday.

Gillian Gibbons was arrested on Sunday after parents complained about the incident, understood to have happened a while ago at an English-language private school. She spent the night in custody but has not yet been charged.

"She was arrested yesterday by the local police and she's currently being held in a police station in Khartoum. We visited her today. She's shaken up but she's alright," said a British embassy spokesman.

"We're following up with the Sudanese authorities and also with the school who are providing her with legal representation. She's not been charged officially but there are still investigations going on," the spokesman said.

The British teacher never intended the naming of the bear to cause offence, the embassy added.

Colleagues said they hoped only that Gibbons, who taught six-year-olds at the school, would be released by Wednesday.

The headmistress of Unity High School is also British and Britons teach at various fee-paying international schools in the Sudanese capital.

Islamic Sharia law is enforced in northern Sudan and Islam is the majority religion in what is Africa's biggest country, a former British colony.

you first should know whats the different between tolerance and self-respect

tolerance does not mean to let a civilized English teacher come teach my six years old son how to miss-respect his prophet..

I wonder if i could get fired if i called my co workers Mohammed lol.

no you wont be fired, because Muhammed(SAAW) saved your blood.

my point is what would be your reaction if i missrespected your parents?!!!

I thought "Mohammed" is a common name. People in that country cannot be that stupid to think that a foreigner would deliberately insult a religious figure in their nation. Then again are these not the same people who are butchering woman and children in Dafur

Mohammed is not an uncommon name. Do they have any self respect in their treatment of the teacher. i'm just glad they didn't behead her and make a video.

they wont behead her , and you all wana fool me to le think she did not mean by the Muhammad the prophet or if they would do that to her just f she mean any other Muhammad.

and if i were them and got sure she mean the prophet , i would not get her to police stations , i'd just get her out of this school right away.

because all i care about are those kids who waits from her to teach them usefull subjects in the Honorable English ways instead of standing of doing what she did.

only understand it , we dont joke when it comes to hour Religion or our prophet , so if you are that tolerance just stop harrassing us , and we ill away tolerance in other things
