Dear StG,

There's a few called Jack Frost.
And some red-nosed Rudolphs.
Do they count?

More fact checking needed! Mohammed was a prophet, and founder of Islam, but did not claim to be God/Allah. The comparison would be between Jesus and Allah as personal names. Mohammed, meaning 'praiseworthy' is comparable to many Christian personal names from prophets or disciples, such as John 'God's grace' or Daniel 'God is my judge' or Elijah (variants include Elliot) 'The Lord is my God'. The latter two names include an actual name of
'God' - 'El', as does Christopher, 'bearer of Christ'. If you included all the variants of some of these names, especially John, (Sean, Ian, Ivan, Jack, Jean, Janet, Jane etc.) they would far outnumber the Mohammed variants. Secular westerners just don't notice the religious basis of our names any more, though some names are still recognised as associated with certain religions (Fatima, Solomon etc.)

R u sure yr not *Boazy* in disguise *Proxy?*

Hmmm ...

Here's another Indo tale for you.

Local news allege that a rapist was caught recently. Allegedly he has admitted to the crime though of course the court action is still pending. This individual is alleged to have kidnapped a pre-pubescent girl from primary school, raped her and dumped her.

Interestingly, he came from the village of the now dead "terrorist" Amrozi. The individual is alleged to have had a religious justification for his actions.

..

The news on the day of the event spread like wildfire through the local "Banjar" here in Bali. I arrived with *MunchKin* to collect our daughter at 12:30PM and the old fellas at the local security point called out: (these are retirees doing community work)

"Sir, Sir, a girl child has been raped in Denpasar. Leave not your children unguarded."

I'm afraid you're right, Proxy. Coming from such a reliable source and all, I expect you're preparing yourself from the imminent Islamicisation of your neighbourhood.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Proxy re :
“For example, although Denmark's Islamic population is only 3.02%, their youth represent 2/3's of the juvenile prison population… half of rape perpetrators are immigrants and the majority of these are Islamic”

Ah, but don’t you know Proxy, that that is all about discrimination –if there are disproportionate numbers of any minority group showing up in unsavoury situations-- it can only be because of racism, or one or other of those exclusively white crimes!

A very thought provoking post ,so many of your posts hit the nail on the head , and say what I am wont to say. In fact we seem to agree on everything with the small exception of AGW ( which just goes to show that for all your great foresight, you still aren’t prefect!)

CL Morgan re: “Be afraid be very afraid”
For the all the woe, look at the bright side, much better Mohammed, Muhammad, Mohammad, Muhammed than Morgan, Morgan,Morgan,Morgan!

Horus: << much better Mohammed, Muhammad, Mohammad, Muhammed than Morgan, Morgan,Morgan,Morgan! >>

I agree. Imagine the "potentially disruptive mass confusion" amongst the intellectually challenged if all men were named Morgan.
