Pass the crumpets, Mohammad

Looking for more evidence of the rise of Muslim immigrants into Europe? Mohammed (and its alternative spelling Mohammad) have officially cracked the Top Ten of baby names in England, beating out George and Joseph. The British government released the statistics today, showing that 4,255 children were named after the prophet this year, beating out the number of Georges (3,386) or Josephs (3,755). The top three names were the biblically influenced Jack, Thomas, and Joshua.

Update: Mohammad does not make even the Top 100 of baby names in the U.S. And for the record, Jesus comes in at an anemic 73, behind three of the gospels, Matthew, John, and Luke.
