If you name your kid "Jihad", I'm gonna have just a bit less sympathy if he has a violent death.

Yeah I was going to name my kid Shootme but my wife talked me out of it. Bob tells me he's happy with our choice. Apparently ME women don't carry much weight in the kid naming department.

I know it sounds funny in English, but Jihad is just a regular name. Even some Christian Lebanese call their sons Jihad, because they take it in the general term "striving" rather than Holy War. I am slightly acquainted with a Maronite family, and they are really Islam-phobic, and one of the men is called Jihad. It gives me the giggles.
