California Councilman names dog Muhammed to teach his children that "in some parts of the world they could be sentenced to death for doing so"

The guy may have just renamed himself "Salman Rushdie":

Naming his dog Muhammad, and later announcing it during a public meeting, was not meant to be disparaging to Muslims, San Juan Capistrano Councilman Derek Reeve said Tuesday.

In offering the first explanation of why he chose the name, Reeve said it was a decision made by his family in an exercise of free speech after teaching his children that in some parts of the world they could be sentenced to death for doing so. [...]

They can sentence you wherever you are. (h/t: Jihad Watch)
