An American teacher has been charged in Bahrain with insulting the prophet Muhammad for displaying images of Islam's founder to university students, a spokesman for the tiny Persian Gulf nation's general prosecutor said.
The spokesman, Nawaf Maawdah, said the pictures showed the prophet in ragged clothing. He said the teacher also insulted a student for wearing a head scarf, which she described as "a barrier to knowledge." He declined to reveal the name of the teacher or the university.
