[Opinions] Re: African names
Intersting. The one sudanian immigrant (refugee, really) I knew in my town was named Emmanuel, so I assume he's not a muslim. Though there's abiut 150k sudanese and eritreans here in Israel, mostly in southern Tel Aviv.

Almost all of the Nuer people are Christians, but they mostly belong to Protestant churches which have never encouraged them to use Biblical names or saints' names so they continue to use the traditional names of their culture.
