Seriously, shouldn't it be the _children_ who get stoned?

A British primary school teacher has been arrested in Sudan, accused of insulting Islam's Prophet by letting her class of 7-year-olds name a teddy bear Mohammed, her school said on Monday.

This is hardly fair, it was the kids that did the blaspheming. :-P

Ok, but my point is that she did, in fact, insult Islam--if by "Islam" one means not, say, my beliefs, but the specific subset of beliefs that the local Muslims refer to as "Islam." I'm not defending persecuting her, but I also think it might be benificial to attack this action for why it's actually stupid rather than taking easy and vaguely offensive potshots.
