Meet Jihad
Just another horror story of an innocent moderate moslem being oppressed by islamophobia.
The German interior ministry is appealing against a decision by the Berlin authorities to allow an Islamist to name his son Jihad, the Arabic word used for holy war.
Reda Seyam fought for 18 months for permission to give his sixth child the name after the registry in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg initially rejected his application, saying the name was inappropriate because of its association with terrorism, and "may endanger the child".
Mr Seyam, 47, a self-declared Islamist, was shown on television this week presenting his son. Grinning into the camera, Jihad on his knee, he said: "You had barely come into the world and you were in court. Your fight has already begun."
In the same programme he defended the terror attacks on the United States on September 11 2001, and on Bali in 2002.
in 2002 a Turkish couple living in Germany were denied permission to name their child Osama bin Laden.
Wouldn't you like to be his neighbor?

No I wouldn't want to be his neighbor but maybe this radical's address should be made public.

I'm willing to bet there are quite a few like minded moderates here in the good old USofA,

The muslims push and push the envelope. They hate, disrespect and look down on the Weast.Let this kid and his parents move to Saudi Arabia and name him Jesus or Moses.
