Re: Appeal Over Baby Named Jihad
First of all jihad is already a common muslim name. Next do you not think it is about time to reclaim a positive term's positive perception?
Alas, i don't think it is possible to do that in the present. When people hear the word "Jihad", the first thing that comes to their mind is Terrorism.
This is just like the Swastika case. inspite of the fact that the swastika is a religious symbol(and a symbol of peace) in both hinduism and Buddhism, it is banned inwestern contries, purely because when people see a Swastika, they think about Nazism, not buddhism or Hinduism.
It's all about trying not to offend other people.
