"As surprising as it may sound, Muhammed is now the most popular name given to newborns UK. “The number of babies named Mohammed has increased by more than half since 1999, when the name was given to 4,579 newborns. Looking back, the single spelling of Mohammed was ranked at number 73 in the list in 1964, and 87th in 1944”

The committee decided the Inquisition had acted in good faith, but was wrong."
