I meant a Christian surely wouldn’t be named Fareed
Now there’s an argument based on admissible evidence that will win in a court of law </sarc_off>
No, indeed.
According to the Wikipedia, Fareed is a Mooselimb:
Zakaria was born in India to a Konkani Muslim family.[3] His father, Rafiq Zakaria, was a politician associated with the Indian National Congress and an Islamic theologian. His mother, Fatima Zakaria, was his father's second wife. She was for a time the editor of the Sunday Times of India.
Zakaria attended the Cathedral and John Connon School in Bombay. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University in 1986,[2] where he was president of the Yale Political Union, editor-in-chief of the Yale Political Monthly, a member of the Scroll and Key society, and a member of the Party of the Right. He later gained a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Government from Harvard University in 1993,[2] where he studied under Samuel P. Huntington and Stanley Hoffmann, as well as international relations theorist Robert Keohane.[4]
