So let me get this straight: a teacher lets her class of seven-year olds name the class teddy bear. They choose the (extremely common) name Mohammed. Parents find out and this leads to rioting and death pronouncements? Common sense issues its unconditional surrender.
Can't we move all these loonies to Madagascar and quarantine the island from the rest of humanity? Worked pretty well with Australia didn't it?

See, this is why the Prime Directive in Star Trek never made much sense. You have to interfere when another culture exhibits signs of terminal idiocy.
I'm watching this show Taboo on the Discovery Channel the other day and it shows this tribe in Africa where the birth of twins is considered a bad omen. So the mother chooses one baby and discards the other one. Can't we have an intervention here? Maybe have the pro-lifers descend on them?
I don't know, maybe I just have to keep it in perspective. There are after all 6 billion souls on this planet. A handful are bound to be bat-shit insane. That's just statistical probability playing itself out.
