The most popular name for boys in Israel

It’s Muhammad.  I am not making this up.  

Last year 1,986 baby boys were named Muhammad.  Twenty-one percent of Israelis are Arabs.  Six percent of the civil service jobs are filled by Arabs.  1.2% of the tenure track positions in Israeli universities are filled by Arabs.


F.Y.I:  That info came from an article by Jodi Rudoren in yesterday’s Times.
