As-Salaam wa allaykum

It pains me that I should have become an excuse for the ignorant and intolerant to humiliate the brotherhood and the teaching of the Prophet (PBUH).

Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, and when people reject the will of Allah their rebellion bring hatred and sin into this world. I would ask my Muslim brother how is it possible that I should be called Muhammad if Allah did not have a reason and purpose for it?

Why can you consider it Allah's will for you to call your sons Muhammad and that somehow Allah can not will for a Bear to be called Muhammad?

Do you dare to say to Allah what he may and may not permit?

Gillian in her ignorance and naivety was used by Allah to achieve something that only a Non-Muslim would now do... I wonder how many times Allah spoke to someone among the Ummat-e-wasat and said, "Call that teddy bear: Muhammed" and yet no one in the brotherhood was willing or had the strength to call their teddy bear Muhammed. Allah could find no one among the Ummat-e-wasat who would heed his call to have a teddy bear called Muhammad, instead Allah had to turn a simple Christian woman who in her ignorance could be used. It is important to note that Allah did not let her assign the Prophet's (PBUH) name to the bear, but Allah used Muslim children to do this.

Such is the Mercy of Allah and the strength of his will that when the Ummat-e-wasat will not heed his call he will have faithful Muslim children perform his will.

[18.Surah Al-Kahf : Ayahs 45-46]
And set forth to them parable of the life of this world: like water which We send down from the cloud so the herbage of the earth becomes tangled on account of it, then it becomes dry broken into pieces which the winds scatter; and Allah is the holder of power over all things. Wealth and children are an adornment of the life of this world; and the ever-abiding, the good works, are better with your Lord in r eward and better in expectation.
