Image for My Name Is MuhammadNot currently available on BBC iPlayer

Duration: 30 minutes

An airline pilot whose career was damaged by 9/11, a businessman wanted by his home country, a former member of Islam4UK, recently banned by the British government for its extreme views, and a female blogger with the name Mohamed. These are just some of the personal stories behind one of Britain's most popular names.

Nine different characters all called Muhammad challenge the stereotypes of being a British Muslim. As the name Muhammad rises both in popularity and notoriety, an ex-atheist, a white convert and a former skinhead ask what is really in a name.
