What's in a name?

The given name "John" was very popular in the U.S. for many years. It became so commonplace that we began to call restrooms, ubiquitous facilities for excretory relief, johns. My uncle and his son, and millions of other men so named never complained.

Recently, a British teacher was sent to jail for 15 days and was deported from Sudan for allowing her students to name a teddy bear "Muhammad." She could have received 40 lashes, six months in prison, and a fine for "insulting the faith of Muslims."

Millions of Muslims are named Muhammad, after the 6th-7th Century prophet. Men named John can trace their name back to one of the Twelve Disciples of the 1st-2nd Century. Is there any longer any doubt that the enemy we face is dangerously devolved?

How can Muslims possibly deal fairly with those thousands of their number named Muhammad who commit civil and religious offenses? The children in this case chose the name for the teddy bear, and I'll bet at least one of the little ones was named Muhammad. How many lashes will his 7-year-old body receive?
