Because "muslim" names are actually "arabic" names and people co-opt all kinds of names from all kinds of cultures. Other Arab names? Sarah, Aliyah, Tupac, Aisha, Ali, Yasmin, Jasmine, Amir, Fatima, Jamal, Leila, Lina, Nadia, Omar...

In case you forgot, Christianity started in the "Arab" world as well, and there are millions of Christians in the Middle East with "Muslim" names.

People should just get over it.

You sure about that?
After all, by your own statements, because my middle name is Collard, I am a leafy green vegetable.

A number of us produced several examples of people with Arabic names born in the US who are not Muslim. You just aren't paying attention.

That means that myself, because my middle name is Collard, -gasp-

This is possibly the most ridiculous thread EVER.

Collard? That is genuinely surprising.
I thought your middle name was "Bad ass" or "Hot sauce"
