Re: Is it okay if you give ur child a english name: though u are a muslim/pakistiani?
I think he changed his name to be closer to the Baath Party. Integration, my man ;)
whatever reason he changed his name, it indicates that arab christians have used arab names which we consider muslim. I gave you other examples as well. additionally key arab christian theologists century after century have arab names and you would be unable to tell that they were christians and not muslims.
