#2 Wake up and smell the caliphate

I wondered where the odor of wet goat and Astroglide was coming from.

#3 The sword under the word just means struggle nicely and all that. He may not be sociopathic boomer scum but he SURELY IS A PHUKWIT IDIOT. Not a smart pick for a PO no matter what you might think the meaning of the tatoo is exactly.

#5 agree with munk - jihad has different meanings, but the sword underneath kinda specifies which meaning is meant i think. Theres a technical term for that in linguistics, which escapes me at the moment.

#6 Hi, my name is Jimbo and I'm a custodian at a local primary school here in NY City. I have a tatto on my ass that reads: "I shit for Satan" and on my forehead another that reads: "I'll eat your young."

NYC public school authorities asked to comment on this matter said: "Well, as long as Jimbo keeps his clothes on and wears a hat to cover the forehead tatto, we see no problem here."

#7 And Jimbo has a question:

"Uh, doesn't Jihad refer to an inner peaceful struggle with one's soul?"

#9 Legolas:

But that's what CAIR, Cindy Sheehan, Sean Penn, James Zogby, Leslie Cagan, Ramsey Clark, Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Dan Rather, the entire editorial board of the NYT, LA Times, and Wash. Post, NPR, Bill Maher, Bill Moyers, Al Franken, Madonna, Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd, and Michael Moore all say.

#10 In fact, "Jihad" has several meanings,

Words fail.

#11 If he's a probie cop in New York, he'd better keep his nose super clean for a year. If he don't, some hard ass supervisor of his will make sure he never becomes a regular on the job.

#12 I think NY is terminal. To have this attitude, electing fuckwits like Hillary and showing such gross laxity and PCism after 9/11, indicates their Will to Survive Quotient is, in sum, negative. Stop sending my Federal tax dollars to prop up this witless Blue bastion.

#15 Those in the NYPD who lost friends and fellow cops won't be so kind to Mr. Jihad. PC doesn't trump 9/11 fatalities.

#16 Hey, not a problem, just borrow a running iron from a Montana cattle ranch and mark over the offending tattoos.

#17 yes RC, kampf does, IIUC. Dont know too much German though.

Jihad definitely has different meanings. Bernard Lewis, author of "Political Language of Islam" agrees that it does. Though the violent ones are the more common ones, by a long shot.

#20 First question---is he a Muslim?

Second question---if so, which brand?

Tatooing is against Islam. You'd be hard pressed to find a hardline variety that permits it---much less a variety that would make significant linguistic use of "Jihad" in a fashion that we might find objectionable here on Rantburg.
Serious Muslims, especially Jihadis, don't tatoo. That's why there's such a tradition of henna patterning in Islamic cultures.

Basically, the guy could just be like one of those choadlickers that want the Kanji for "Wind over fire" tatooed on their hineys, and end up with something saying "fart."

Citations will be forthcoming, if necessary. I'm still on my first beer and need another.
