Islam is a dangerous, fanatical religion

[odeon]

Well, it's a cultural thing, too, as well as a religious one. It's considered a great honour to be named after the prophet.

the number one boys name in the UK last year: Jack
the number two boys name and expected to be number one shortly: Mahammed.

Not very imaginative, some Muslim families. There were usually two or three Mohammeds in my class at school.   

that's because, in several countries i can think of, there are offical/legal names, and only these can be chosen, and they tend to be fairly limited.  portugal, for example, has about 20 offical names for men, or something similar (and that might be changing, but that's the way it was last time i heard).  the portuguese get round it by using nicknames.  a lot of muslim males get round it by using their full name.

anyway, ffs - it's better than calling your kid "Champagne".  i kid you not - i taught her not long ago.     and what about that dingbat named after a hotel?  just as well she wasn't born in a chavvie area over here, or she could've been "Little Chef".

Lol, we know of one (chav) family which appears to have given all their kids car names or ones associated with racing - 'Xantia', 'Daytona', 'Ayrton (Senna)', etc etc. Good eh?

too horrible to even contemplate.  anyway, they missed out "Shergar".

I absolutely LOVE racing and would never give my kids such stupid names.

This is quite interesting.

[odeon]

Yeah, it's interesting. Scary, too, because the name is enough for the islamophobics to shout "terrorists!"

[duncvis]

I thought this was quite telling:

If your name is Mohammed and you are a terrorist, it means you are not in the fold of the Islamic religion.

A smokescreen, you know that. After all, Fox News knows best.

There are fanatics of all religions.   Islamic fanatics are usually dangerous in that some of them believe 60% of the world will die and everyone left will worship Allah.   To call the entire religion fantatical and dangerous is not even logical.  I have met some decent people who are followers of Islam.   Every religion has its share of bad people.   Generalizing to start a thread is seriously weak.

Hmm...wonder if there are 'bad' Jains.
