Also, I do know a thing or two about Muslim abominations towards "Kufr"--including Dhimmi. I do not defend such things. But it's a lot more agreeable to see someone whose grandfather slaughtered Armenians and Assyrians to turn around and confess Christ than to see more blood and gore.

As for the Chechens named Edhem and Hava, there are Turks and Persians with such names, too, and mention of such names in the Qur'an.

I freely admit that whatever God has graced me to know, I, too, had ancestors who worshipped sticks, stones, and even offered their children to them. Maybe, if Islam is the religion of forgetting, Christianity picked up the habit of remembering from Judaism.

And, I have run into devout Christians named Omar and Mehmet, too. Granted, some were not born into that faith.
