BS.

The clerics are just rousing the rabble again. They see this as an easy issue to cause contention over.

If it was a murderer that made a picture of Muhammad, not too many people would see any problem with giving him a lashing and they would have nothing to squabble over, but GOD FORBID a heathen teacher for naming a teddy bear after a prophet.

Question: Are there any people named Muhammad?

Also, does anyone else find it ironic that the policy was put in place to discourage idolatry, but putting up giant signs with his name on it in churches is not? Or that somehow idolatry is worse than zealotry?

These people need to be educated, otherwise they are just being led as sheep by anyone who wants that kind of control.
