What would YOU have done?

The world of 2015 is fraught with these decisions.

Today, I dropped my son off at work and dropped by Tim Horton's, Canada's largest Coffee chain. Ordered and sat down with my IPad and logged in. Because I sat in one part of the Restaurant, the normal auto entry of the site did not come up. While waiting for that, there were several, untitled Users.

And this one... MUJADIN.

I looked up quickly and by doing a quick profile search of the dozen people around me, was 99% certain, who had that handle. By no coincidence, the Tim Horton's is one long block from one of Toronto's poorer Mosques.

This situation had never come up before, nor had I ever thought about it. In the end, I did nada at the time.

But, I'm very certain, I could pick this guy out the next time I drop by this place.

Sooooo... What would you do? Surreptitiously taken a pic? Reported and to whom?

I'm still not sure why. It looks like an arabic name more than the word I assume that you are thinking of.

You should live in NYC and sit in a public place. Hook up your tablet to a hot spot and if you are paranoid you might be thinking like you.

It is unfortunate that this crazy world has put us in this spot.

Are you confusing MUJADIN with MUJAHIDIN/Mujahideen?

The first, according to Google, appears to be a rare surname. It also appears as part of the slang term "mujadin binaku", apparently a homosexual with a small penis.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...mujadin+binaku

The second terms of course refer to one who engages in jihad.

If it was me, and I spent two minutes on google, I would have had a good laugh at my own expense.....

I'm leaning towards a rare surname.

Post Ottawa and Paris (and choose 10 others) open minded, but not naive.

I did see that, when I looked it up to make sure I'd seen the word before, this morning!
