Mohammad-the-Pooh

Here's the latest series of children's stories from the Middle East.
In this scene we see the loveable, hugable, stuffed-with-fluff,
Mohammad the Pooh and he is confronting Zorak
the evil Mantis of the apocalypse.

Too bad that the series didn't get past the first book. The author and illustrator were publicly stoned to death in the Sudan by an angry mob. Evidently, muslims were offended by a stuffed bear having the same first name as their prophet.
If you ask me, it's bears who should be offended.

Better watch it - They've rioted and beheaded for less! You infidel!

Pees be on you.
