Kids Sure Do Blow Up Fast These Days

Maybe we should add this to the religion of peace files,
PARIS (Reuters) - A woman who sent her three-year-old son - called Jihad - to school in a T-shirt marked "Jihad, Born September 11, I am a bomb" was fined and given a suspended jail sentence by a French court on Friday.

Bouchra Bagour was found guilty of condoning a criminal act, along with her brother Zeyad, who bought the child the T-shirt recalling Islamist militant group al Qaeda's attacks on New York on September 11, 2001, that killed close to 3,000 people.

The matter ended up in court after Jihad went to his nursery school in September 2012 wearing the T-shirt, upsetting staff and prompting a local official to take legal action.

Overturning an earlier acquittal, the appeals court in the southern town of Nimes fined the woman 2,000 euros ($2,700) and gave her a one-year suspended jail sentence, doubling that fine and suspended jail sentence for the uncle.

That is one messed up mother and uncle, and I wonder how accurately this blip on the radar screen reflects the reality of Islam and Western civilization. Kudos to the appeals court in Nimes.

I have always been in favor of school uniforms, and this policy may need to be considered at the nursery school level in the future if parents are going to use their kids as walking billboards to advance an adult political agenda.

What would happen if a kid named Christy was sent to one of our public schools wearing a shirt that had "Christ Saves" printed on it here in the states?

Prayers ascending for our world.


Not that prayer!
