French court decide to ban the name “JIHAD”

A French court will decide if “jihad” is an acceptable name. Muslim parents in Toulouse, where an Islamic attack on a Jewish day school occurred, seek to name child ‘Jihad.

Victims include Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, his two sons, Gabriel, 3 and Arye, 6, and Miriam Monsonego, 8 (above)

‘If the French courts can see its way clear to banning the name jihad, why did they allow in millions of Muslims who support, fund and/or wage jihad.

French judges are set to rule on whether a family in southern France can call their child “Jihad”, a legal source told AFP on Monday. The mayor’s office in the city of Toulouse referred the parents to prosecutors after they registered the child in August, which could lead to a family judge ordering them to change the child’s name.

“The process is underway,” the legal source said.

French parents reported to name police for calling their baby Jihad

France is known for its overly strict policing of baby names, but in the case of a couple trying to call their son ‘Jihad’, French authorities might have a point.

A French couple from the south west have been reported to authorities for calling their baby ‘Jihad’.

The couple, who come from the Toulouse suburb of Léguevin, tried to name their son ‘Jihad’ when he was born in August but the local town hall immediately alerted the public prosecutor to their controversial choice of name.

Given the choice of name and the fact France has been on heightened alert after a series of terror attacks by homegrown jihadists, the prosecutor may well decide to refer the case to the family court.

Judges may eventually decide to ban the parents from calling him Jihad.
