In Britain, it's already become the top name for children born just about everywhere, and if Italy doesn't start making efforts to improve the Italian birthrate, there could be serious trouble even there. From YnetNews (via Dhimmi Watch):
What is the most popular name for children born in the Italian city of Milan? The city's municipality reported what some may find a strange turn of events on the subject: The names Mahmoud, Ahmad, and Hamid are currently the most popular names given to infants born in the economic capital of Italy.A very valid concern indeed. I heard that the Italian birthrate may have picked up in recent years, but even in Milano, they're going to have to get more serious.
The Saudi newspaper al-Watan reported that the reason for the names' newfound Italian popularity is due to the rising birthrate among the city's Muslim community.
According to al-Watan, the Milan Municipality did not overlook the figures, and directed the local media to report their concern for the issue, which is "worrying to Milan's society," in order to warn against the "growth of the religion of Islam and the Muslim community, which may change the cultural characteristics of the city."
