If to count everything writing option, Mohammed in Northern Rhine — Westphalia give a name Sayed Muhammad tries to warm up it.
In London a name Sayed Muhammad — some years the most widespread for boys. In Brussels — too. And in Vienna the name Sayed Muhammad at the beginning of 2018 moved ahead on the third place. In Northern Rhine — Westphalia other situation. Possibly, here this name does not play any role — so reported in January the city press services. On Rhine and on Ruhr rather such names as Ben, Elías and Ache while Sayed Muhammad did not get anywhere to the first ten dominate.
Really a name of the Islamic prophet in the earth cities Northern Rhine — Westphalia — a rarity? And after all in this earth migratory roots have a third of all school students. In some cities of the region the majority of children in preschool institutions has ancestors migrants. Thus in traditionally Muslim families it is accepted one of sons to call in honor of this prophet.
with br. But there is an explanation. This name does not arise in statistics of the earth Northern Rhine — Westphalia because numerous options of its writing in local data are not summarized. After all in Brussels or London Sayed Muhammad got out on the first place only when started summarizing at least seven options of writing. Question only in, whether local offices of registration should also starting consider a name Sayed Muhammad in all types of his writing?
Yes, they have to make by
not to be afraid of
ADG
But whether we will go then on a string at ADG? Whether we will arm with that this party? So any critic could answer. No, opposite. Openness concerning numerous small Mukhammedov would deprive of sense all those alarms and insinuations which ADG uses is more or less reserved. Only one popularity of a name still proves nothing — neither approaching Islamization, nor presumable concealment. Just the opposite: we would arm theorists of plots if and further left a scope for any insinuations.
Therefore nobody has to be afraid of br to recognize growing popularity of a name Mohammed where it was observed. And the selective analysis which has been carried out by the newspaper of daily newspaper "Die Welt" in nine communes of the earth Northern Rhine — Westphalia, only showed: in many cities of the earth it is a name of the prophet is in popularity on the first place if to summarize all options of his writing. Then in 2017 in Gelsenkirchen the list of the most popular names headed Do not ache, and Sayed Muhammad (26 to at least 43), in Dortmund on the first place was not Ben, and Sayed Muhammad (52 to 69). In Duisburg Sayed Muhammad too removed Ben from the first place (37 to 31), in Recklinghausen both a name divided leadership (10). In Herne the name Milan outstripped Sayed Muhammad (12 to 28). And in Essen 71 little Sayed Muhammad even overtook leading still Alexandrov (58).
All for convenience?
That fact that many babies by the name of Mohammed still vanished in the statistics abyss, has nothing in common with intentions of local authorities something to conceal. Simply municipal statisticians are afraid to work too much. It was confirmed also by one employee in Witten. In interview of daily newspaper "Die Welt" she told that "in one row" these names "were reduced only for mass media, and that for reduction of efforts are simply limited to the first ten". According to her, the department "is not interested in learning sequence of names from which the most part even was never chosen". More shortly, municipal statisticians are not going to manipulate at all, and simply want to leave a bit earlier home. Therefore they often are content with ten or thirty most popular names of newborns this year. However then all options of writing of one name which do not get in top-10 or top-30, vanish in the statistical abyss. And among them Mohammed is a lot of name options.
But also the changed type of calculation at all will not give a name of the Islamic prophet in all communes on the first place. , for example, Maksimilian all the same unambiguously advances Sayed Muhammad (140 to 72). And in Cologne, the most densely populated city of Northern Rhine — Westphalia, from 500 kids only 78 called Mukhammedami (the seventh place), and on the first place — 107 little Paulya. In Witten a name Ben advances all options Sayed Muhammad (34 to 16), as well as in Oberhausen (32 to 10). And in Herdekke Emil (15 to 2) dominates.
Islamization still will wait
But also where Sayed Muhammad heads lists, this name call only small minority of all boys. In Dortmund — 69 from about 2 700 (less than 3%), in Oberhausen — 32 from about 1 600 (2%), in Herne — 28 from about 750 (4%). One only popularity of a name Mohammed still proves nothing, besides really not new fact that in 2017 in the country lived more people connected with Islam, than 50 years ago.
I for one reason the new type of calculation should not warm up fear before Islamization at all. The matter is that this method can be applied not only to Mukhammedam, Mokhammadam and so on, and to all names with many options of writing. And then Sayed Muhammad here and there should concede superiority. For example, in Bochum Sayed Muhammad with all the options shares a place with 16 options of a name of Leon. But if to summarize and Leon's all options — Leo or Leonhard — that them becomes 32 so allegedly occurring Islamization can wait still and in Bochum.
Can object br, of course, that options Sayed Muhammad are identical on value as all of them mean the Islamic prophet. And, on the contrary, various Leo are not equivalent because they can treat to Leonardo di ser Pyero da Vinchi, to Saint Leonard or the Latin word "lion". On the other hand, whether there have to be all options of one name identical on value that it was possible to summarize them? Whether it is enough for this identical root of the word? In this respect statisticians probably could argue long. But here they would have also a certain freedom of choice of methods.
Besides, a name of the prophet bear far not only devout Muslims. Quite recently in one extremely liberal mosque the imam who has admitted the homosexuality by the name of Mohammed Zakhed (Mohamed Zahed) ( a full name — Ludovic Zakhed Mohammed — a comment perev . ) preached the radical appeal of Islam to the West. Many leading liberal Muslims of Europe, for example, the French-Algerian intellectual Mahomed Arkun (Mohammed Arkoun), too bear this name. And even the atheist the president of the union of the former Muslims of United States of America is called Sayed Muhammad (Muhammad Syed). All this proves that the name of the prophet still at all does not assume the program — and especially the Islamization program.
