Regardless of your feelings for the islamic government there what we have done is impose our vallues upon that country in order to force a release that shouldnt have been granted. It doesnt matter how stupid we may think the law was the fact is that she broke the law, how many people from the UK work or have worked in islamic countries over the years, most of them have realised that anything that may offend the religion would be dangerously stupid even before recent events. Given the degree of media coverage Islam has had over the last few years, in particular the extremist nutbags, anyone with half a brain would have at the very least consulted other members of staff before declaring the bear was to be given the same name as their prophet. If nothing else a sense of self preservation should have kicked in and stopped her.
And before anyone says that something like that would never happen here, dont forget we still have blasphemy laws. They just havent been enacted in years because this is a secular state and religion hasnt any real direct power here.
