China this month banned a series of Islamic names – including “Mohammad”

and “Jihad” – in an attempt to help “curb” the “religious fervor” that has

become prevalent in the Communist country’s western region of Xinjiang.

A document titled “List of Banned Ethnic Minority Names” catalogs more

than two dozen banned names, such as “Arafat,” “Mujahid” and “Medina,”

according to a copy obtained by The New York Times.

The document was provided to The Times by the Muslim minority Uighur

community. The region has seen a string of extremist attacks, including

a stabbing spree by a group of attackers that killed at least eight people

in February.

Chinese officials around the country confirmed the ban, listing a reduction

in essential services – such as education and health care – as the penalty

for those who rebelled against the restriction.
