If I was named Jihad and was from the Middle east, I would definitely keep my name, and clear misconceptions about Islam and the Middle East. I definitely would not try to blend in, change my name, forget about my mother country and just become American.
I think it's lame that people think all Americans think the same way. Just your typical lump-em-all-together post from Steve.



BTW, I DO agree that people are silly for thinking he's a "terrorist" for having that name.
