I guess it's a slow news day hey. The initial articles I found on it were titled "40 LASHES for naming a Teddy!!!" - sensationalism is lame.

This kind of reminds me of that time when soldiers gave out soccer balls that had Saudi's flag on it. I definitely could have made these same mistakes, these just aren't the kinds of things that you're average non-Muslim thinks about... even if they aren't out trying to disrespect the religion.
