I am white, British and Muslim. Guess which one I am picked on most for? I wish people will stop spouting this 'anti-white racism happens all the time' nonsense. Anti-white racism does happen, but firstly, it is no where near as common as hating immigrants or Muslims, and secondly when it does happen it almost never used as an insult and is never reported.

It would be funny when there is a baseball chucked throught the kitchen window and mom says..."OK, who did it?"

All the boys point at each other and say in unison..."Muhammed did"

Actually, the Muhammads usually have middle names. For example

Muhammad Adli Bin Abdullah
Muhammad Shakir Bin Abdullah
Muhammad Isa Bin Abdullah

...thus when the parents, teachers or friends wanna call their names, they would call the middle names... so there would be no problems as being mentioned above.

3/4 of my Muslim male friends have Muhammad in their names. But I never call any of them Muhammad... as they prefer to use their middle names.

that's kind of strange to me. surely you give your child a name with the intention that that is what they will be called by? If you give them a name and then always call them something else (which you MUST if you are going to call them all the same name lol) that just defeats the purpose of them having the name you originally gave them.....isn't your name what people call you?.....ohmigosh I must go and lie down now my head hurts.

when I saw this article last week I knew the daily mail element would start jumping up and down and jabbering about england being doomed etc. etc. However I would just like to point out that no other community in the UK has such a strong tradition of being given one particular first name. I don't know what the percentage of Muslim babies called Muhammad is, but I guess it's very high. If all the Irish people called their children 'Patrick' then Patrick would probably be near the top the list, or if all Jewish people called their boys 'Isaac' the same would apply. also, notice that there is no equivalent Muslim girl's name near the top of the girls' names list. I would be interested to find out what spot the first Muslim girl's name occupies on that list.

Malays have a very strange culture, they give their kids a very long name, but most of the time they called their kids in other names..

for example, Muhammad Khairul Nizam Hady Bin Muhammad Salleh... but the parents and friends would ended up calling him "Boboi"... weird huh?:?
