It's not strictly true as only works if you combine all possible spellings ...

Cool

It's meaningless really. It may still be miniscule compared to all the Anglo names given. Seeing that a disproportionately high number of Muslim males will get the name Mohammed (or a variant), it doesn't indicate that we are being overrun!

If Christians felt compelled to call their boys after their main man I'm sure that 'Jesus' or 'Jehovah' would absolutely trounce Mohammed in the numbers game.

One day the Mail will publish some real news, but no one will believe it.......

Nothing wrong with Muslims liking traditional names.

Maybe if we stopped calling our kids stupid names, a traditional British name would be top.

But that doesn't sell papers does it?

Not a bad name anyway. Better than some of the names you see these days.

I'm bump all these threads in about 20 years when the Daily Mail prints a headline which reads 10% of British Population is Muslim, somebody will post it and there'll be a volley of liberal apologies and accusations of circulation inspired sensationalism. Your grandchildren will look back in 2050 and wonder why their grandparents were doing ostrich impressions. Do you care?

If Muslims have 8 kids on average vs 2 for the rest of us then it's only a matter of time ...

I think its funny that muslims wont eat pork but will call their prophet and evidently their sons a name that has ham in the middle of it.

I'll get my coat

P.S no offence was intended to anybody in the writing of this post

Don't worry TX, it'll be at least 4-5 generations before we lose the majority, so that's fine.

Do you really think that the government cares anyway?

Hey fella's, c'mon at least these guys feel something towards their prophet unlike many christians who are happy to slander Jesus but on the other hand say he died for our sins and is our saviour. I'm yet to see a day where the tabloids publish some proper news. And remember the reason why they are here is because we are there....isn't it?

in fact Mohammed sw was histories most influential person according to J Hart and 4 others (leading historians 4 out of the 5 being Christian) in the book the 100 most influential. And the writers said that their natural choice would have been Jesus but had to give it to Mohammad sw as Jesus was not a husband, Statesman or ruler. Just some facts written by Christian historians (note not muslim)
