I'm now somewhat curious how many people in western countries are named Jihad. Besides that kid, apparently. It. Doesn't strike me as the most common of names.

As far as I know, it isn't a common name in non-western nations either. It's like a Christian naming their child Salvation.

That's actually pretty hilarious. Jihad, born on 9/11.

Not that I would name my kid that way :P

Even if she put the shirt on without thinking about it, how do you NOT think about it when you buy it?

And does France really have a law about glorifying crime?

France tried to make denying all holocausts illegal (read: they were trying to piss of the Turks with their Armenian 'totally not a holocaust' thing). If anyone, it is France with a law for that.

That is very very silly.

Though this whole holocaust denying thing is silly on both ends!

Well, don't assume I am very knowledgeable about the true reason for that. We have Frenchmen and Turks on this forum who probably know better :P.

We should start denying the holocaust of the crab people.

Well the one of the Holocaust in WW2 was a backlash against the extreme amount of things given to Israel after the war along with the previous hatred gardered before the war.

Which makes it easier to understand. When all of a sudden someone COMPLETELY UNRELATED suddenly is treated like they are better then you, you tend to wonder why.

Either way, a shirt on a three year old, no matter how tasteless, is pretty innocuous in and of itself.

I don't know, I think it somehow makes it worse because people will look at it and believe you are teaching your three year old those tasteless hings.

If you put a "No fat chicks" on a baby, I think people would actually think it was less funny... and maybe more funny.

Which why we need to somehow convince the French government there was a holocaust of crab people, and then deny it.

It's about crimes against humanity as defined by Nuremberg. Though it concerns only "the" holocaust, the armenian one is not (yet) included.
