More Mo’s

Perhaps the British are too busy boycotting Israel to see what is happening under their noses.

Mohammed is now the second most popular name for baby boys in the UK -and is expected to top the list by the end of the year.

 

It was shared by 5,991 newborns last year, ahead of Thomas, Joshua and Oliver respectively. Jack was the most popular name.

 

The official register places the name spelled as “Mohammed” at number 23 in the list — but it is second when its 14 different spelling variations are taken into account.

 

The Islamic prophet’s name first hit the top 30 in 2000. Muslims account for three per cent of the population — about 1.5million. But their birthrate is three times that of non-Muslims.

Or perhaps the boycotts are the result of British pandering to this fastest growing segment of their population.

 

Update: Related comment from CAWP, who writes from England:

I’m afraid that being anti-Israel is not only uncontroversial, it is strongly orthodox in Britain, and dissenting views are ignored or marginalised. Anti-semitism is at the highest it has been in the UK (in terms of attacks) since the dark and brief days of the British Union of Fascists in the ’30s. This is largely because of our growing Islamic population, but helped by an establishment so suffused with anti-Israeli sentiment either out of old-fashioned ignorance, or old-fashioned bigotry.

 

..It is time our useless little nation changed its name; as the Roman Empire’s centre is now mere Italy, so today’s Britain so utterly fails to resemble the great nation and people of old, that it would be helpful for all if it was called something altogether different.

 

There will be many more such dark days; dark weeks, months, and years ahead, as the lights go out, and the plug is pulled, and all the remaining vestiges of genuine Britishness die out, with only an Leftist-Islamic husk of a place left. It has long been on this path. Its disgusting betrayal of Israel after the War was but one of its beginnings: a hideous mixture of cowardice, malice and duplicity. The British spine long since folded.

 

The whole problem re: Academia is captured in this one fact: a large number of Oxford University colleges serve only halal meat, and were caught by the student press having done so for years, even when they have only one or two Muslims there at a time. The establishment have made their peace, and not with Israel, but her enemies – a considerable number of whom live within our borders.
