[Nat'l Pulse, ht Insty] ’Mohammed’ was overwhelmingly the most common name among those arrested during the recent French riots, reports the French newspaper L’Opinion, which analyzed a sample of the most common monikers amongst over 2,000 arrested throughout the uprisings in late June.
Mohammed appeared 81 times in a sample of 335 arrests, 50 times more than second place Yanis —another name with Arab origins — which appeared 31 times. In fact, several Arab names were prevalent among the random sample of 335, with Yacin appearing 11 times, Ali appearing 13, and Ibrahim at 10.
The names were revealed after the French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin argued that many of the names arrested were more typical French names, including Kevin and Matteo. Yet, neither features prominently in the list revealed by L’Opinion.
"No one can ignore reality anymore... in spite of everything, most of the political class wants to believe that it is a social crisis when the root cause is obvious: immigration," asserts the former French presidential candidate, Eric Zemmour.
The riots in France were recently compared to the French Revolution of 1789 in terms of scale and destruction by the former French spy chief, Pierre Brochand.
