The Arch Bishop of Canterbury said today they should allow Muzzie teachers to wear the veil in the first three grades.
Are those the good parts or bad parts? Hard to tell.
Since you didn’t bother to “debunk” my assertion by providing something more than calling me stupid, I’ll give you this.
I know that fact hurts you guys over there because it tells the fate of a once-great country, but the problem isn’t in my knowledge; it is in your unwillingness to confront the real problem on your island.
We’ve been through this many times on FR, our Aussie friend Naturalman was the first to easily debunk it.
Mohammed only becomes no 1 IF we include every last variant, something you can do with almost any name!. Mary being the classic example. So to claim its no 1 in the UK is nonsense and utterly pointless. All it proves is UK Muslims have a shocking lack of imagination. But in the US, its been seen as ‘proof’ the Muzzies are running the UK.
There were 698,512 born in England and Wales last year, with another 75000 or so born in Scotland and NI. That’s around 775000 UK children born each year. Of that, just over 7000 were named Mohammed.
7000 out of 775000.
That’s 0.9% of UK births. Less than 1%.
Now you understand why we roll our eyes at this Mohammed is no 1 nonsense?.

We have a problem with extreme Islam, and we are too PC, but this idea we are run by Muslims (4% of the UK, less than 1% in three parts of the UK) is drivel.
I don’t think anyone said that they now run the UK, but as their population numbers increase, it will become a bigger problem.
That isn’t debunking- it’s horsesh!t, actually. Different spellings my ass. You’re like clinton and the democrats. Point is that these babies are all Muslims. Debunk that.
Some scholarship reveals that a % population of over a couple of% Muslim is a very serious problem.
As you'll see, Muhammed was 29th in 1913 (although that was up significantly from the year before). The top five boys' names are the decidedly un-Islamic Oliver, Jack, Harry, Charlie and Oscar.
Worth noting that Muhammed will always appear misleadingly high in the rankings, since in most branches of Islam it's always the name given to the firstborn son, whereas non-muslims have thousands of names to choose from - particularly since the recent fad of giving your poor child a synthetic or made-up name in the fond hope it will convey individuality. (Fortunately, as you'll see from the list, this practice seems to be fading).
You make no sense. Misleadingly high my patootie. I found the same thing you did but Muhamhead, Mohammed , Mohammed et al are all the same thing -—Muslim. Go argue with my link source, not me.
Most certainly ‘misleadingly high’ for the statistical reason explained in my last paragraph.
The fact that muslim parents are ‘obliged’ to choose only the one name for their male firstborn inevitably pushes that name much higher in the rankings than would be the case if those same parents had the same huge range of names to choose from as non-muslim parents: and thus gives a misleadingly high impression of the number of muslim parents unless that restriction is taken into account.
It does not matter whether the parents are ‘obliged’ or not nor do variations on the spelling of the name. The basic fact remains the same, the names are still Muslim - and that is the problem when considering birth rates in a particular country.
One day, when all these ‘obliged’ children with different spellings of Muhammed stand together in the streets to riot for Sharia Law, or kill soldiers with machetes, or whatever, it will not matter their parents were ‘obliged’ or if they spell their similar name differently. They will all be shouting “Allahua Akbar”.
