OIC! Thanks.

 

BTW, I said I believe that Muslim names are like that because that's how they are in Malaysia. I'm pretty sure it applies to Muslim names everywhere, but I could be wrong.

Maryann would probably be able to confirm, since she's spend some time in the Middle East.

 

It might not be muslims in general but arabic muslims. As you might recall I speak (or spoke Turkish). I learned from some friends who taught me a lot about the culture as well as the language.

Turkey is a secular muslim country and in Turkey last names are surnames and pass from father to son.

Interestingly the youngest son is the heir.

 

Wait a second... how did this beer thread turn into a serious thread?

 

Gobble gobble?

That's interesting to know.
