Sudan charges British teacher with inciting hatred after students name teddy bear 'Muhammad'

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Sudan has charged a British teacher with inciting religious hatred after she allowed her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad.
Gillian Gibbons was arrested Sunday after the parents of 1 of her pupils complained, accusing her of naming the bear after Islam's prophet.
In London, the British government says Foreign Secretary David Miliband has summoned the Sudanese ambassador to discuss the charge.
Sudan's official news agency says Gibbons' case will be referred to a court tomorrow. If convicted, she could face up to 40 lashes and six months in prison. A spokeswoman for the British Foreign Office confirmed the charge.
