New figures released by Germany’s federal government have reshaped the rankings of citizen’s allowance recipients in the country, placing Mohammed and its many spelling variants at the top of the list.
A recent government response to an Alternative for Germany (AfD) inquiry originally suggested that Michael, Andreas, Thomas, and Daniel were the most frequent first names among those receiving the allowance, known locally as Bürgergeld. However, the government’s list had separated different spellings of the same name, resulting in distortions.
AfD lawmaker René Springer requested additional data that consolidated all variations of the same name.
The government’s updated response, obtained by Bild, shows that Mohammed — counted across 19 different spellings and variants such as Mohamed, Muhammad, and Mahamadou — now ranks first with 39,280 entries.
By comparison, Michael (including Michel, Mischa, and Maik) comes second with 24,660 entries, followed by Ahmad (20,660), Andreas (18,420), and Thomas (17,920). Names with fewer spelling variations, such as Andreas and Thomas, lost ground, while Ahmad, which has multiple common versions including Achmet and Amed, rose to third place.
The federal government stressed that first names cannot be used to directly determine nationality, though they undeniably serve as an indicator of native Germans and those of a migration background.
Three Islamic names, Mohammed, Ahmad, and Ali, were included in the top 10 first names of recipients.
At the end of 2024, a total of 5.42 million people in Germany received a citizen’s allowance, including 2.82 million Germans (52 percent) and 2.6 million foreigners (48 percent).
They couldn’t win by battle at the Gates of Vienna, but slow integration and then taking over without assimilation is the strategy. A lot of other countries in Europe and the UK are in the same boat.
Delusions of Adequacy 
It’s the month of Elul. The King’s in the Field – an old Hassidic idea. Jews come and stand before an opened Sefer Torah and cry the 13 middot revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev to express our t’shuva!

4th Oral Torah middah רחום, learns from the בניני אבות-precedents commandments 1. to obliterate all people of Canaan 2. the stubborn and rebellious child, 3. the eternal war upon Amalek. The tohor middah of רחום pleads that HaShem distinguish between the תורה ברית which separated ברכה מן ארור. All like vs death henges upon this most basic distinction! Its Ellul now. Jews open up the Sefer Torah and cry out the 13 Oral Torah Middot, to remember the sin of the Golden Calf as our תשובה על יום הזכרון!!!! Tough תשובה if a Jew can’t separate and discern רחום from חנון!
