I also agree with Charlatan that understanding the social, political, and economic systems in which "Radical Islam" resides might better explain the actions of adherents to "Radical Islam". That people in many other Muslim nations name their sons "Mohammed" without controversy suggests that there must be something going on here other than or in addition to "Radical Islam". That some Muslim countries, like Turkey, seem relatively stable suggests to me that this case and other cited examples of "Radical Islam" may not actually be about Islam. That the vast, vast majority of Muslim individuals in the world don't appear to be blowing up buildings, imprisoning English teachers, etc. suggest to me that there may be something other than or in addition to Islam going on in these cases.

I'm going to guess that naming an inanimate object like a teddy bear = idol worship, and therefore (obvious) she must die because that is explicitly prohibited, in the same vein as showing any image of the 'profit' Mohamed.
South Park handled it best, Comedy Central refused to allow them to show Mohamed in an non-offensive bit but did allow this in the same episode...

Don't tell anyone or they might kill a nun again and riot across Europe.
