My kids have Rovin' Rabbit who they bring home to write the weekend diary with.......mine played poker with it and wrote up his diary entry with a photo of him and the rabbit wearing Ray Bans, drinking shorts and pulling their best poker faces (hard for a puppet rabbit but it tried) ........... i suppose that wouldn't have gone down in Sudan any better than calling it Muhamed! (could have taken it to a lapdance club to be sure i guess?)

Its less like a religion and more like a cult, isnt it? I had written that Islam is a disease, but even though I harbour almost equal dislike for far-right 'Christian' fundamentalists, that seemed a little extreme.

The Unity school is a Christian-run co-educational private school that teaches both Christians and Muslims and is popular with Sudanese professionals and expatriate workers.
Bishop Ezekiel Kondo, chairman of the school council, told The Times that the school was in dispute with authorities over taxes, and suggested that Ms Gibbons, who arrived in Khartoum in August, may have been caught up in that. "The thing may be very simple but there are people who are trying to make it bigger. It's a kind of blackmail," he said.
Another source at the school blamed another teacher, from a well-connected Khartoum family, who had raised the issue with the headmistress but was rebuffed and decided to complain.
