This is appears to an old article, but a British teacher has been deported from Sudan.
Why?
She let her students name a teddy bear "Muhammed."

I'm scared for this teacher. And if you think I'm over-reacting, just remember the case of the Satanic Verses, where a Middle Eastern government effectively declared war on the author of a controversial book.
Now, nothing so extreme is happening this time. A group of her colleagues argued her case to the government and she has been granted a full pardon.
So, I guess that means she can return to Sudan if she wants. I'd urged her not to. The government has pardonned her, not the citizens who are still calling for her execution.
Good night, everyone, and good luck.
