Berlin, Germany (AHN) - A German court has ruled that a suspected terrorist can name his son Djehad, the German word for jihad or holy war.
The upper regional court in Berlin upheld Tuesday the rulings of two lower courts allowing Egyptian-German Reda Seyam, 49, to name his four-year-old son Djehad on grounds that it is a common Arabic name for males.
Germany's birth registration agency, which implements the country's strict naming law, contested the name in court arguing that the father intended it to be interpreted literally and could harmful to the child, who would be associated with terrorism. It's position was supported by the German intelligence agency's suspicion that Seyam was a mastermind in the bombing of resorts in Bali, Indonesia in 2002 that killed 200 tourists.
Public prosecutors in Munich have also accused Seyam of encouraging young Germans to convert to Islam and join a holy war.
A boy named ‘Jihad’. Declaration of jihad upon Deutschland.
Hopefully he’ll get get the shit kicked out of him every day at school.
i m a innur sity publik scewl teechur. We keep waiting for an Al Queda. It just sounds like something we would get. It is right up there with T’Yon, L-Sha (the “dash” is pronounced), Lemontee (pronounced La-MON-tee), Precious (same name as my cat when I was little) and the twins Damawi and Tamawi (first is a boy, second is a girl). We also have many Asia’s, although none of the Asia’s spell their names like the continent.
These sickos commonly name their kids after holy war?.
Demented. I’d rather be named Sue.

I know someone named Jihad. He’s a nice guy.
Al Queda? They'd probably spell it "Alkay'da". On a related note,
D'AlCapone AlPacino Morris arrested
I'm guessing his parents were products of an innur sity publik scewl.
The suicide of the West. The cathedrals of Europe will all become mosques in our lifetimes.
Is the judge’s name Mohammad?
Air travel is going to be a *itch for the guy.
I’m just waiting for someone with a sense of humor to name his/her son “Durka”.
Sadly, I know a little kid named, “Alpacino.”
