Why would parents do that to their child? As if the playground isn't rough enough as it is. Using a child's name as a form of social expression is disregarding the feelings and life quality of the child.
Jihad has many meanings and many forms. It can also mean dedicating your life to science.
But considering the times, they shouldn't name their child something that causes him trouble in his life. If he chooses to have that name in the future, it's his freedom. People are ignorant. They wouldn't know the semantic variations.
It's pretty hilarious that people still name their children after General Degaul, he is responsible for killing over half million civilians in North Africa. No one mentions that. But they complain about people naming their children Jihad... hypocrites.
If you want to appeal to emotions, at least do it properly and pretend to care about terrorism committed by your own people.
@Nimbus I'm sure which ever media source has reported it has blown the story out of proportion, to make the parents look like insensitive assholes and the French look like a bunch of racists, I don't pay much attention to any news tbh 🙂
@Miram i agree and would much rather spend my time looking at environmental issues and people living in poverty and real news issues. Not a load of incessant waffle that drives racism through the world 🙂
Why didn't they name their child "fuck the western world". They know the name is controversial yet they insist. Parents shouldn't use their kid for whatever dark agenda they have.
