"Mohammad" the Most Popular Name for Boys in Brussels Region

Gee, that's really wonderful.

I hate to see this happen to Europe, but it will provide us with some important lessons. We should look at this and learn why we shouldn't let America become a muslim country. The Euro countries that are letting this happen are quickly becoming sh--holes.

Better than Osama, I guess. But this is simply amazing to me. I had no idea that there was that large an Islamic presence in Belgium.

[Republic of Texas]

Absolutely correct. Unfortunately, we are being overwhelmed in the same manner. Only the name isn't Mohammed, it's Miguel.

[dagnabbit]

Simply horrible.

I drove accross Brussels about 3 years ago. For much of the drive I thought I was in Karachi. The West needs to wake up immediately and demand an end to Islamic immigration.

Better arguement against justifying anything "because the Europeans do it this way".

[Delbert]

Man...if my parents named me Mohammed...I would blow myself up!

"..."Mohammad" was the most popular surname for boys in the Brussels region in 2001..."

'First' name or 'Given' name...

A Surname is the 'Last' or 'Family' name.

The Muslim population is reproducing at a much higher rate than the native Europeans. We have a similar situation here in California. Last year, the most popular boy's name was "Jose".

They began to infest the Marolles quarter of town back 30 years ago.....from the looks of it they have probably taken over most of the inner city at this point.....quelle domage.

Don't forget "Juan"!

We have a similar situation here in California. Last year, the most popular boy's name was "Jose".

I prefer "Jose" than "Mohammad".

As Pat Buchanan says, "the suicide of the West." Europeans think they are so much smarter than us, but they are cutting their own throats.

How long until Belgium enacts Sharia law? Are waffles allowed under the Islamic code?

I prefer "Jose" than "Mohammad"

Amen to that. None of the 19 hijackers were from Mazatlan!

[Inspectorette]

I prefer "Jose" than "Mohammad".

Believe me, so do I. Illegal immigration is a problem, but there's still a big difference between people who are coming here to escape poverty and who want to work and build a life here, and the ones who are coming here to kill us.
