Suspected terrorist allowed to name his kid jihad in Germany

A German of Egyptian descent, suspected of involvement in the 2002 Bali bombings, has won the right to name his child "Djehad". The name is a variant of jihad or holy war. Telegraph

Germans are also incensed that the taxpayer must foot the bill for tens of thousands of euros for Egyptian-born Reda Seyam's court costs in winning the right to the name.

A court in Berlin said that he could name the child Djehad because it was an "accepted Arabic first name term". [...]

Seyam, 49, spent three years and thousands of pounds of taxpayers' cash to overturn a decision by Berlin municipal authorities forbidding him from naming his boy Djehad.

A fanatic who rails against the West, human rights laws, votes for women and democracy, Seyam has been under observation by German intelligence services for years.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany's domestic intelligence agency, has for long regarded him as being a "string-puller" behind the Bali bombings of 2002 which killed 200 mostly young holidaymakers.

Why hasn't Germany deported his ass?
