You are correct. Certain muslims have taken it upon themselves to use it as a curse. Shameful really.

I think they are merely imitating the Qu'ran in that respect. These words are used in a similar vain in the Qu'ran, which is generally threatening and unfriendly about most unbelievers. You can hardly expect people to be better than their holy books.
 
To the original subject: While I understand and regularly educate people on the meaning of jihad as spiritual striving rather than only physical struggle, I believe it is negligent of the parents to name their child something that might cause harm to him. Furthermore I believe it is clear the precise meaning of jihad these parents intend.
 
Words change over the years, n***er simply ment black but i wouldn't call my child it.
And believe it or not jihad's real meaning has changed whether you like it or not in the west anyways, which is where the child was born/being brought up. And IMO the perants should acknowledge that.

Kufir may of meant non-believer but try calling a black South African that and see what happens!
 
The meaning has changed "according to the west," but the meaning is still the same "whether you like it nor not." And most of us could care less "whether u like it or not."

On the one side, people should be able to name their kids whatever they want. But then on the other hand, you have to think of the kids. With names like that they will be picked on constantly growing up. As adults they could be looked down at for names like that.

Well in that case such names as 'richard' should be banned aswel, because those of us living here in the UK or a western country may know the nickname that is given to Richard....
And in the modern day and age as the child goes through life in these days, it may well not be all fun with the name calling...can really get some people depressed...

As a mother, I want my child to have the easiest life possible. If I could I would put him in a bubble and never let him see the bad that is in this world. Even though it may not mean holy war that is the way it is perceived. So this child would have to put up with all kind of abuse. It is like starting them out in this world with a strike already against them. Kinda like naming your kid Dick. It is an ok name but would you want to go through life with those kind of jokes?
