A Month of Islam in Britain: September 2016<\/h3>\n

September 1. A team of University of Oxford sociologists published<\/a> a paper about why young, highly educated Muslim women who live in modern urban environments are choosing to wear Islamic veils. The report says that in social situations in which Muslim women mix with non-Muslim friends, work outside the home or interact with strangers, they may wear the veil as \u201ca signal to others in their community to show that mixing with others does not compromise their religious piety.\u201d Veils may also be used \u201cto strengthen their own sense of commitment to their faith and its values in a secular world.\u201d The report says that efforts by Western governments to ban the veil in public might be counterproductive because it would \u201cdeprive Muslim women from integrating.\u201d It suggests that if they cannot signal their piety through wearing the veil they might be forced to stay at home.<\/p>\n

The list shows Muhammad at number 12, followed by Mohammed at 29, Mohammad at 68 and Muhammed coming in at 121.
