license plate

‘KKK’, ‘HATERZ’ and ‘K1LLER’ are not allowed.

But ‘Jihad 1’ is OK?

Go figure…

Via Daily Mail:

A personalized license plate that reads ‘JIHAD 1’ has been allowed in the state of Missouri.

A St Louis news station was contacted by a viewer who spotted the license plate and found it ‘insulting’ before sending an email with the subject line, ‘WHAT WAS THE DMV THINKING!!!!’

….The ‘JIHAD 1’ license plate, which was seen on a car in St Louis county, belongs to a Muslim couple who have a 14-year-old son named Jihad, whose name inspired the license plate, News 4 reported.

The family also noted that Jihad, a traditional Muslim name, has a spiritual meaning for Muslims, contrary to violence and terrorism associations with the word.

‘Jihad is very common and it doesn’t mean Holy War,’ Faizan Syed, the executive director of the St Louis Chapter Council on American Islamic Relations told News 4.

‘It means someone who is struggling, so when you name your kid Jihad, it means someone who is going to struggle to be better.’

….In Illinois, the word Jihad is banned from being used on license plates, according to the station.

Among other license plates banned over the years in both states include ‘KKK’, ‘HATERZ’ and ‘K1LLER.’

    Well, there’s no reason to take license plates seriously. I mean, it’s not as if a real terrorist ever warned us with a license plate. Except maybe this guy.

  2. The idiots who sanction this will think why, when entities with this twisted bent will come for them!
