Is Omar muslim?

[Mohamed The Kowalski]

Is the name Omar given to non-muslims? Because here in Egypt if someone's called Omar, then he's a muslim, so I want to ask if you know someone called Omar and not muslim.Thanks in advance.

[BloodChuckZ]

I always assumed he was, just because of the name.

[Erik]

Yeah me too, either Arab or Muslim or both.

I don't think so...Omar is a common name among Hispanic people from what I recall, and this is vindicated by his last name Romero.

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Bradley

And as you can see here, on rare occasion non-Arabs and non-Hispanics will be named Omar.

Oh yeah, I forgot that.  Good point.

[BloodChuckZ]

Mixed Parentage maybe ?

[Mohamed The Kowalski]

Well, I don't think he's from the arab because of his last name,Romero, but maybe he's half arabic/ half spanish

I always thought it was a hispanic name.

I'm sure it is an arabic name, that's because the 2nd leader of the islamic country after my prophet Mohamed is called Omar.

Not necessarily, Nais.  My dad is Hawaiian and has brown skin, but I'm white as fuck.   

[Mohamed The Kowalski]

Yeah,I think that has something to do with genetics.

Not in a racist way but wouldn't that give him a little bit of colour? Unless the family on each side decended to the point where the colour was lost. Idk

Not necessarily. I'm Palestinian...but I'm extremely pale and have light brown hair with blue eyes. Also have blond and redheaded family members with eyes of various colors.

Genetics play a interesting role in life.
