Mohammed will likely become the most popular name for baby boys in Britain by the end of the year, The Times newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing government data.

Though official records from the Office for National Statistics list the spelling Mohammed 23rd in its yearly analysis of the top 3,000 names given to children, when all the different spellings of the name are taken into account, it ranks second, only behind Jack, according to The Times.

There are various different spellings of the name because when it is transliterated into English from Arabic, families spell it as closely to their own pronunciations as possible.

In total, 5,991 baby boys were given some version of the name Mohammed, with 6,928 baby boys named Jack.

Thomas was third with 5,921 names, with Joshua and Oliver rounding out the top five.

According to The Times, if the growth of the name Mohammed continues -- it rose by 12 percent last year -- the name will take the top spot by the end of this year.

If “Sarah” is the top name for baby girls, that is entirely because of my family.

It’s always helpful when your enemy identifies himself for you.

That wanker Prince Charles will probably read this and change HIS name to Mohammed.

Will it be one country that all westerners “migrate” too before its all over for us?

Australia, perhaps? That's the only country that seems to have a pair.

Take a good, long, hard look at UK & EuROPe. What you see is the slow, steady, methodical, islamization of a western society. The pot is warming up slowly and the frog is asleep.........

Take a look at this abomination, posted to a UK media site:

Is London's future Islamic?

It’s the capital’s fastest growing religion, based on noble traditions and compassionate principles, yet Islam can still be tainted by mistrust and misunderstanding. Here Time Out argues that an Islamic London would be a better place

(snip)

Inter-faith relations

In an Islamic London, Christians and Jews – with their allegiance to the Bible and the Talmud – would be protected as ‘peoples of the book’. Hindus and Sikhs manage to live alongside a large Muslim population in India, so why not here? Although England has a long tradition of religious bigotry against, for instance, Roman Catholics, it is reasonable to assume that under the guiding hand of Islam a civilised accommodation could be made among faith groups in London. This welcoming stance already exists in the capital in the form of the City Circle (see Yahya Birt interview), which encourages inter-faith dialogue and open discussion.

(snip)

Social justice

Each Muslim is obliged to pay zakat, a welfare tax of 2.5 per cent of annual income, that is distributed to the poor and the needy. If the working population of London, 5.2 million, was predominantly Muslim this would produce approximately £3.2bn each year. More importantly, everyone would be obliged to consider those Londoners who haven’t shared their good fortune. London would become a little less cruel.

Race relations

Under Islam all ethnicities are equal. Once you have submitted to Allah you are a Muslim – it doesn’t matter what colour you are. End of story.

This POS is long; I've only posted a small portion of it. You can read the rest (and a few angry comments from readers) here.

“What a disgraceful end to a rich & proud people.
...we’re right behind them of course.”

My thoughts exactly.

The most bizzarre spelling of Mohammed that I’ve seen was a guy across the hall from me in college:

Mehmet

Could it be because white Brits have about 1.7 kids per person, and Muslims breed like flies?

Mehmet is the Turkish spelling of Mohammed.
