There are many Muslim families in Israel. Most are calling their boys Mohammed whereas the Jewish and Christian families in Israel call their boys varied names not just Isaac or Peter.
A tad out of date but: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-45638806
In 2017, 7,307 boys were named Mohammed or a variant spelling in the UK. The top single name, Oliver, had 6,259.
But this is out of a total of 348,071 - around 2% of the total. And as others have pointed out, it reflects the fact that the Muslim community tends to show a lot less diversity in their chosen names than other communities in the UK.
Muhammad is a very very common name, that does not necessarily imply religiosity - merely a cultural background. Not every parent that names their child "Christian" is religious or means it in a religious sense.
I don't really understand him because it's only top due to Muslims traditionally naming their kids Mohammad, it's not like Muslims make up the majority of Israel, although maybe he didn't understand that and thought that's what the stat implied.
I'm sorry. I thought this was a quiz site and that this comment section was meant for comments about the quiz. I didn't realise it was for communal political flaming.
I think it is hilarious. They must have a hard time when somebody says "Mohammed" and everybody turns around. Call a night club and ask for Mohammed to be paged :D
He is often referred to as, "The Apostle Paul". The word means "sent one" and Paul (and others) considered himself to be sent to preach to the Gentiles. Matthias was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Judas in the original twelve, and is sometimes called the 13th apostle. Others have been referred to as apostles in the New Testament as well, including Barnabas, Silas, Titus, Timothy, and others.
I think that there are two different interpretations of this question, namely, taking in Syrian refugees, does that mean they are assimilated into Turkey's infrastructure i.e. , welfare, education, health, housing etc. or does it mean they are entering over the border and then moving on to other countries?
It's good that it accepts Lebanon. Lebanon has been accepting Syrian refugees for a long time, longer than the Syrian civil war, and I'm guessing it's an allowable answer because the numbers are on par.
Though Scattergories does use a 20-sided die, it is almost never referred to as such. I hadn't even realized until you said it that the Scattergories die has 20 sides, and I've played Scattergories dozens of times. Whereas in D&D, the 20-sided die is referred to so frequently that "d20" has become a commonly-used shorthand for it.
why do you accept pyramid for the answer to the pharoahs tomb? That is such a generic answer that anyone can just guess a pyramid because that is what is assocoiated with egypt and pharoahs. However, the The Great Pyramid f Giza is quite specific and should be the only acceptable answer. Many other pharohs were also encapsulated in pyramids. Only one is in the GPofG.
Cholesterol is not quite correct, it is a sterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) transport cholesterol in the bloodstream, so 'protein' and 'lipoprotein' should be correct answers
A better phrasing of the question about Paul: What misogynist is credited with writing about half the books in the New Testament. If he were alive today his Road to Damascus moment would send him straight to the Taliban
Miles Morales should be an accepted answer for Spiderman alongside Peter Parker, especially since his version of Spiderman has recently received mainstream popularity with the Spiderverse film and the PS4 game.
Most rabbinic opinions nowadays put the cubit (amah) above 18". Opinions vary from about 19" to about 23" (48 cm to 58 cm). According to the Rambam, there are (at least) two different definitions of the cubit, with different lengths. I'm glad I live in a world of standardised units!

And no, I'm not bothered either.
