MOHAMMED NOW SECOND MOST POPULAR BOYS' NAME IN BRITAIN
In a reflection of the increasing influence of Islam on UK society, figures released by the Office of National Statistics yesterday showed that the most popular spelling of the name - Mohammed - had climbed five places to 17th in the annual list of most popular baby names.

This is not so much a commentary on Islam as it is an indication of a moribund culture in the secular UK. It's one thing to be an open society that respects basic freedoms, like religious freedom, etc., but it's quite another to allow an out of control multiculturalist ideology to sweep away all traces of indigenous culture and heritage. George Weigel has spilled enough ink on the subject but in brief: a nation that loses a sense of cultural identity and religious heritage has no substantive reason to pass anything on to posterity. Children become a burden. Living it up becomes the final purpose of life. The result: no children and a population of alienated, self-absorbed narcissists and more minarets peppering the skyline.
