Gillian Gibbons, a British teacher, is being threatened with execution and 40 lashes for allowing her students to bestow the name Muhammad on a class teddy bear.

Kill her by firing squad!" Gibbons, who was sentenced on Thursday (November 29, 2007) to 15 days in jail and deportation, was taken from her prison to a secret location to ensure her safety.
