That everyone’s name is Muhammed is completely indicative of the total lack of creativity evident in Muslim societies.

Do they have something against Ahmed, Abdul or Osama?


I’ve heard that a number of Muslims named Osama in the western world, go by the shortened nickname “Sam”, because the full name conjures up memories of Osama Bin Laden. Just what I have heard. If you meet a middle eastern/Arab/Muslim man named Sam, odds are his name is Osama.

Hey, what about Barack?
It’s a shame, London has always been one of our favorite cities but we won’t return.

They have sold their nation in the name of political correctness

Henceforth, I will be suspicious of everyone named “Sam”.

Firstly, I would refer you all to Naturalman’s post on this thread.

Secondly, I would point out the fact that there were almost 800,000 UK births last year. Of those 7,000 were Muslim. That’s less than 1%.

Lastly, I would again point out that the UK is 96% NON Muslim and 92% white European/white other. Three parts of the UK (Scotland, Wales and NI) have Muslim populations of less than 1%. And even large parts of England have little or no Muslims and non white ethnics.

We can only hope you’ve got it right.

But you know...in London alone there are 607,000 Muslims.

A 1% birth rate of that group alone would be 6000.

And that would be unique since most Muslims do quite a bit more than that pretty much everywhere else. And we havent included hotbeds like Birmingham.

Perhaps I’m missing something like a skewed distribution of Muslims.

It would seem to be quite a bit higher than you allege.

Please feel free to disabuse me of that notion with any data.

Personally I see no reason for the demography of England and Europe in general to change so radically in just a few decades, and especially not with certain groups being dominant. London is now 60% White, down from oh what, 99% in 1960? And for the previous 2000 years?

When did the British vote for that?

I am trying to explain why this story is needless scaremongering.

I am giving you the facts on the UK as much as I can. All this story shows is a shocking lack of imagination, not some muslim takeover. As to London, it was not 99% in 1960.

With all respect, Americans are ignorant of the immigration to the UK since 1945: we had a huge influx of black Caribbeans from 1948 to the 60s, as well as a large influx of people from the Indian sub-continent in the 50’s and 60s. As well as HK Chinese. London hasn’t been 99% white since the late 1800’s. Its a city, by definition, it will be cosmopolitan.

Please read what I and especially Naturalman1975 have said.
You can safely return to London and the rest of the UK.

‘It’s a popular myth, and there’s good reason for it, that Muhammad is Britain’s most popular boy’s name.

Except that is apparently what the data presented by the website BabyCentre has revealed this morning. These numbers were widely reported, including by the Guardian (we have subsequently updated our news story to make clear that it is a survey and not official national statistics).

The BabyCentre.co.uk names are simply a sample based on 56,157 members of the site who gave birth in 2014. Reporting on this seems to have overlooked that there are comprehensive statistics available from official bodies, although only up to 2013. Those figures show Muhammad was the 15th most popular boys name in England and Wales and the 52nd most popular in Scotland.

The names chosen by a self-selecting group of parents will probably show more about the demographics of the users of that site than the overall trends.’
