Funny man Bill Maher, on his show Real Time with Bill Maher, said he’s scared of a hot new trend in Britain: naming babies Mohammed. That’s the most popular name for a baby boy there now, and Maher is “alarmed.”
“Am I a racist to feel alarmed by that?” Maher asks his guests. “Because I am. And it’s not because of the race, it’s because of the religion. I don’t have to apologize, do I, for not wanting the Western world to be taken over by Islam in 300 years?” Full article.
my friend osie’s comment:
Anyhow, why would he care about what happens in 300 years (an outcome he can predict based on the number of children named for a prophet). Who knows if there will be people on earth OR a western world in 300 years? And he won’t be there…
Seriously, he has nothing more pressing to fret about?
I was kinda freaked out by the number of Ashleys born and named in the 80s, but I didn’t lose sleep over it.
Many boys named Jesus in the Latino community, does that worry Bill? I met an African American kid named Messiah once, too (sounded really funny as his mom was yelling at him in playground). Come to think of it, the proliferation of Bills might be worth some worry time. Clinton, Gates, Prince William, Bill Bryce even.
Does ge realize what a jackass this comment turns him into? Oy vey Bill, ur name may stay popular but you are so 5 minutes ago!
