   Sounds to me like the real Brits better start jumping in bed and start making babies if they want to survive. While driving down the left side of the road, “Mind the Mohammad teddy bear Richard, minding the Mohammad teddy bear Hyacinth” (for the Keeping Up Appearances fans).

   Why is it ok to name a child Mohammed, but not a teddy bear?

   A commenter at HotAir a few weeks ago said that Muslims think it demeans their prophet to name a “filthy animal” (or maybe a “silly toy” too) after him. But a valued child is OK, as it expresses a desire for the child to grow up imitating Mohammed, my thought is whatever–is he really worth imitating, but according to this commenter that’s their view. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this makes sense to me given the views on touching or even being near certain animals like dogs or pigs.

   Still, I don’t understand why this particular question keeps being asked all the time on here. Children get named after patron saints or family members all the time.

   The issue is: why do they think it’s so bad to name a teddy, not why they think it’s OK to name their children after their admired person, which I would think would be self evident.

   Because teddy bears refuse to grow up to be suicide bombers and little boys named mohammed, muhammad, mahammed etc. etc. etc. aspire to blow themselves up.

   Like strapping a bomb to the kids chest and sending it into a crowded area to blow everybody up.

    I have a terrible feeling that Britain has already lost it’s war with Islam without even being aware that it was in one.

    Once the Muslim’s get superior numbers (which they’re well on their way to doing) they will take control of the leadership positions, from there it will be a short step to institute Sharia law.

    Its because Christians never go off the deep end about someone being named Jesus, Mary, Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, Madonna, etc. I just think that if they are going to go crazy over “defiling” the sacredness of their “prophet” then they should be consistent.

    The issue is: why do they think it’s so bad to name a teddy, not why they think it’s OK to name their children after their admired person, which I would think would be self evident.

    I think it is a legitimate question to ask why one is ok and one is not. Especially after the whole teddy bear incident.

    Exactly right. Don’t agree with their reasoning but there it is. I was actually thinking more of the “taking nine year old wives” thing. Yeesh.

    I guess I just brought it up because that question’s been asked about 100 times on here and HotAir over the last few weeks and I never once saw anyone respond to the explanation by this commenter, whose name escapes me, or my repeats of it, that Muslims consider naming of animals (or maybe toys) to defile a name or whatever. People never answer that thesis, they just keep repeating the question. That was all I meant.

    Keep this in mind when you hear the eco-nuts claim we need to penalize people who have children, or mandate family limits, or tax large families as eco-burdens.

    Certain groups (i.e. Muslims) will *not* abide by those silly restrictions and overwhelm us. And Islam does not have a stellar track record on environmental issues. What’s the carbon offset for burning a car in Paris?

    When I tell people that I eventually want a large family, they look at me like I’m crazy. Part of the reason - aside from loving and wanting children - is that they’re the *only* way America will continue.

    This comes on the heals of Italy renaming a child from Friday to George. Seems Italy has that power as the parents lost their appeal.

    Shhhhhhh….. What do you think is happening here in the USA with the ILLEGAL ALIENS??????

    It’s the same thing. They will eventually be given amnesty and vote themselves in to power. YOUR grandkids will be speaking Spanish as a first language.

    Although Jack topped the list with 6,772 babies, that figure fell 156 on last year, meaning that if the trends were repeated next year, Mohammed and its variant spellings would be the most popular choice in England and Wales.

    How soon until #2 and #3 are Larryhammed and Curlyhammed?

    Does anyone know what happens to a child named Mohammed who becomes severely deformed, say from a car accident or a botched suicide bombing? Do they stone him for dishonoring the prophet?

    Artist: Cash Johnny
    Song: A Boy Named Sue

    My daddy left home when I was three
    And he didn’t leave much to ma and me
    Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
    Now, I don’t blame him cause he run and hid
    But the meanest thing that he ever did
    Was before he left, he went and named me “Sue.”

    And if I ever have a son, I think I’m gonna name him
    Bill or George! Anything but Sue!
    

    And Mohammed.
