Banning by far the most common Muslim name for men. How petty. 

And I've never heard of anyone named "Jihad". 

edit -- http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/04/26/china-bans-muslim-names-including-jihad-mohammad.html?intcmp=latestnews
China this month banned a series of Islamic names – including “Mohammad” and “Jihad” – in an attempt to help “curb” the “religious fervor” that has become prevalent in the Communist country’s western region of Xinjiang.

A document titled “List of Banned Ethnic Minority Names” catalogs more than two dozen banned names, such as “Arafat,” “Mujahid” and “Medina,” according to a copy obtained by The New York Times.

Anti-Muslim is prevalent everywhere aside from the Muslim nations and rightly so. That's one religion that needs to get its s*** together and fast. They don't wanna be discriminated against, but they wanna go to other countries, try to set up their sharia law, circumcise little girls, abduct 6 year olds for sex trafficking, execute soldiers in London in broad day light, blow up buildings, attack sporting teams, I can go on and on. The religion needs a reformation.

So, you want to punish the millions of Muslims in Europe for the actions perpetrated by a tiny percentage of them. Yeah, nothing wrong with that at all. 

And that sports team bus incident had nothing to do with Islamism. A Russian national was behind it, motivated by greed.

A stand needs to be taken. Europe and the entire West owe them nothing. Have christians today go over to the Middle East and do what they're doing here in the west and see what happens. You think they're gonna be as forgiving and open minded as we are? Until they can get they're religion and themselves in check, they should be deported and banned from coming over to western countries. I don't need their bulls*** affecting me and my family.

The entire criticism is that it is NOT a tiny percentage.

And that the majority while peaceful by themselves are not hostile to the radicals.

In countries like the UK and France, when people are killed in the streets or critics and gays are held down the majority attitude is "Well I don't agree with the violence but they shouldn't have gone against God, if they didn't do that they wouldn't be dead."

"Punishing" is a stupid term but it's ridiclous to say The West has to "just accept." the people being stabbed, blown up, run over. Women being abused, raped, sold. Underage marriage. Gays being harrased etc. Just by handwaving and go "Well not all do it so therefore you shouldnt even attept to stop the some who do" is just insane.

And the stupidest part is that deflection hurts Muslisms. The liberal, moderate Muslims who have adapted to the west and just want to watch TV, do their job, eat cake and pay taxes are the ones who are harrased, hurt and even killed by the radicals when the rest of the country looks on and goes "Meh, not all of you so we can't stop the radicals."

Like that Muslim shopkeeper in Scotland who was stabbed to death by other Muslims for tweeting "Happy Easter to all my friends in this great Christian Country."

He's the one people like you are punishing,.

Yeah, it means a holy war against the opponents of Islam. I don't really care if it has some other technical Arabic translation, this is what it means to everyone who uses it and sees it.

Terrorism is trying to promote a political, religious or philosophical change via inducing fear or terror among a populous or group.

Criminal means someone who is breaking the law. 

While these often correlate, they don't do so by definition. You can have people attempting to force change through fear who are abiding the law, especially if we're only using American laws.

yeah, and they are named after the prophet muhammad. Are you dense?

many people named Adam or Joseph aren't named after the religious figure Adam or Joseph.

Not to mention Joseph was a popular before the bible and there are other Josephs on the old testament and so on.

how many people do you think honestly name their kid muhammed NOT after the prophet muhammed? it's like naming your kid Jesus or Yahweh and then claiming you named them after someone else. 

and why do you think it's the most popular name in the world. It's like you don't even bother to follow any line of reasoning in your head.
it's because Muslims name commonly name their kids that to honor the prophet and Islam is one of the if not the most popular religion in the world

Nope. There's actually a legal, criminal definitions. It's a crime. You basically arguing that there's legal murder, no. There's justified homicide but murder is necessarily criminal.

    That's why I argued it was debatable.

    According to the US Israel bombing hospitals and schools in Palestine is not illegal. The US literally argued with the UN that Israel was not breaking international law by doing so in 2014.

    People in Palestine would disagree as they bury their children.

    Basically all a law means is what your government condones. If your government condoes acts that others see as terrorism, then terrorism can not always be criminal.

    That's why I said it was debatable. If Yemen launched a drone strike that destroyed a US wedding and killed dozens, it would be considered terrorism in the US and illegal. The Inverse was not considered illegal.

    There are certain names in the U.S. that are effectively banned (to give to children), in which case social services will take the kid away. This story comes to mind about a family who named their kid Adolf Hitler:

    I skimmed through the story and it seems child services went after him because he was a terrible father >_>

    I've also read that some people who uphold the government banning certain names even under 1st Amendment grounds because there is a distinction between your government name, which you put on a piece of paper, which isn't all that different from a social security number, in that it's just used by the government to identify you, while your "actual" name, ie whatever you want to be called, is completely up to you. 

    Not sure if that's convincing.

    But as to the issue in this topic? There couldn't possibly be backlash from this right? This certainly won't antagonize the very people they are trying to pacify, right?

    Adults can legally change their name to whatever they want, but the rationale behind banning certain names for kids is that it's potentially child abuse.

    Do you think it should be legal to name a child Adolf Hitler?

    I personally think it should still be legal, but that child is going to live through hell.

    I don't have any issue with that name being banned because the child is one negatively affected but not the one who makes the decision. If that kid hits 18 and wants a racist/stupid/horrific name, have at it.

    @The Admiral, can you find and example of a child being taken from his parents for the sole reason of being given a "banned name"? It seems quite obvious that the man in your example lost his kids because he beat them, along with his wife.

    This is how a country deals with religious extremism when they aren't plagued by white privilege.
    By the way, China is the result of implementing Marxism, the most awesome ideology according to college Marxists. Whether they know it or not, this is what they will get when they implement their beloved Marxism in their country.

    If you're unhappy with the chinese government, you've got 2 options. 1 get out, or 2 die.


    You're lucky if you get that


    Nah. you can leave if you want. You might not be allowed/want to go back in, but for the most part you can leave. It's a one-way trip in most cases.


    These are both wrong. As long as you don't publically announce you're against the government it's as easy to come and leave China as it is with the US, provided you have the money for the flight and a passport.
    China isn't North Korea. They love tourist revenue, and there's no reason for them to care if a single person or family leaves.
