Back in October 2006, I reported here that Mohammed was already the most popular name for new-born boys in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other major European cities.
Holy atomic pile, Batman! -- the UK has achieved that dubious distinction as well.
Mohammed has become the most popular name for newborn boys in Britain.
It shot up from third the previous year, overtaking Jack, which had topped the list for the past 14 years but was relegated to third spot.
In order of popularity, the variant spellings used during the year were: Muhammad, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mohamed, Mohamad, Muhamed, Mohammod, Mahamed, Muhamad, Mahammed and Mohmmed.
There are still other possible spellings but these were not used for births in England and Wales in 2009. Regionally, the single spelling of Mohammed came top of the list for the West Midlands.
Good luck with that.............

English Defense League Shows Solidarity with Israel
The English Defence League (EDL) has been meeting with Orthodox Rabbi Nachum Shifren this week ahead of today's demonstration in support of Israel outside the Israeli embassy in London. This is part of the growing interaction between the EDL and the counter-jihad movement in the US that I enthusiastically support.
Rabbi Nachum Shifren is running for Senate in California. Atlas strongly endorses this candidate. Rabbi Shifren is an Orthodox Rabbi and California State Senate Candidate. Rabbi Shifren has received endorsement from the Jewish community in Los Angeles and has been praised by organizations throughout the US for his steadfast support for the American Constitution and individual rights. He has built coalitions spanning all ethnic groups (Korean-Americans, African-Americans, Hispanics). The EDL has built similar coalitions.
Support the Rabbi - go here.
According to an interview the Rabbi gave to the Guardian, "The Jewish community is paralyzed with fear, exactly what most radical Muslim agitators want. The people of England are in the forefront of this war – and it is a war. One of the purposes of this visit is to put the kibosh on the notion in the Jewish community that they cannot co-operate with the EDL, which is r Today was one of the biggest most organized demos in London. It was an honor for me, and I was quite humbled with the esteem shown to me by Londoners whom I've never met. Something very special happended here today, something the whole world noticed.
[..]
When I was introduced at the demo, I got a minute long standing ovation, with shouts of : "Rabbi, Rabbi, Rabbi" Never in my life have I been appreciate so much. The love was overflowing, they were so grateful for me thinking of them and supporting them. Of course, it was I that was grateful. Today was a shot heard round the world!
Today hundreds of proud Brits stood with the good Rabbi outside the Israeli consulate in support of Israel and against Islamic antisemitism.
Shifren, who is running for the US senate in the upcoming midterm elections, said Britain's Jewish community should support the EDL.
"The Jewish community is paralyzed with fear, exactly what most radical Muslim agitators want.The people of England are in the forefront of this war – and it is a war. One of the purposes of this visit is to put the kibosh on the notion in the Jewish community that they cannot co-operate with the EDL, which is rubbish," he said.
Jew hating Muslims and leftists called for attacks and counter actions against the peaceful pro-Israel EDL rally. Apparently the Muslims and the leftists of the fascist UAF tried to silence the truth and keep the Rabbi from speaking .....to no avail. Liberty Alliance has this:
It was also a very eventful day. Just before the Rabbi spoke, a left wing activist demonstrated the criminal impulses of people who choose to call themselves ‘antifascists’ when he threw water at the sound equipment. This did take the system down for a while, and when it was restored there was a definite crackle when the Rabbi spoke, as the video footage will inevitably show. Of course, it is, from a certain point of view, understandable why the left wing activists who stalk the EDL should feel so frustrated. The turnout for their demo was dismal and a clear indication that their message is being rejected, even, perhaps, by their own followers. It seems that people are now realising that the propaganda that demonises the EDL is clearly false. The EDL is an inclusive and ethnically diverse organisation that seeks to preserve and protect the values that have made Britain a haven for those fleeing persecution abroad. For Britain to continue as a refuge it will be necessary to oppose the gradual imposition of sharia that in many cases is the very source of the persecution that those who arrive on British shores complain about. Sharia norms, unfortunately, appear to be the very norms that the rulers of Britain now increasingly embrace.
During his speech, Rabbi Shifren severely rebuked the British media for its biased reporting and its unwillingness to address the threat posed by sharia. Due to the fact that the National Union of Journalists already appears to have a partisan and biased view of the EDL, how are people to believe that what journalists write is anything other than propaganda that does not reflect reality? It seems that journalists are now incapable of balance when it comes to issues associated with the rise of sharia. What happened to honest and impartial reporting?

King Mob
King Mob
Patrick Sawyer, EirstPost.co.uk
For years the graffiti emblazoned along a west London Tube track issued an angry challenge to the deadening conformity of urban life: 'Same thing day after day - Tube - Work - Diner [sic] - Work - Tube - Armchair - TV - Sleep - Tube - Work - How much more can you take - One in ten go mad - one in five crack up'.
Its authors were a group of anarchic anti-artists named King Mob, whose stunts and visual manifestos flowered briefly during the late Sixties and early Seventies, in opposition to both the Establishment and the commercialised counter-culture of the Beatles and
King Mob's physical manifestations on the walls of Notting Hill have long faded with its gentrification. However, their leaflets and posters, recently acquired by Tate

Simulated Sex Can Be Punished
Big Brother Punishes Cyber Porno
Sean Thomas, FirstPost.co.uk
Hard cases make bad law" is an aphorism much beloved of legislators. It is also a motto that could be usefully tattooed on the foreheads of British MPs. Because right now the British government is about to pass a very bad law, rooted in one tragic case.
The tragedy in question is that of Jane Longhurst. Five years ago Ms Longhurst, a Brighton-based teacher, was brutally murdered. At the trial it emerged that her killer, Graham Coutts, was a fan of violent porn websites with names like Rape Action. The content of such sites reflected their titles.
Following the life imprisonment of Coutts, Jane's mother Liz began a campaign to ban the possession of violent sexual imagery, or 'extreme pornography'. This campaign got support from her local MP, Martin Salter, and then Home Secretary, David Blunkett.
Now the campaign is near its end. The final fruit is a clause, inserted in the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, which should receive Royal Assent on May 8.
What's wrong with this clause is its bizarre, catch-all wording. The law does not simply outlaw the making of obscenely violent sexual images. It prohibits the passive viewing of images of violent but consensual sex. It also prohibits, quite astonishingly, the viewing of images that merely appear to be sexually violent - but are actually staged.
The absurdities thrown up by this are obvious. Under the law it will be illegal to look at images of someone freely engaging in rough sex. That is to say: the act itself will be legal, but looking at a photo of it will be verboten.
Even more stupid, under this law you could be prosecuted for looking at an image of yourself performing an act that did not actually take place which you faked at home.
George Orwell had a word for this remarkable legal concept: thoughtcrime.
