Jihad … whoops, I mean Shihad

NZ rockers Shihad undergo cosmetic change post-Sept 11 after concerns were raised about the band name’s similarity to the word jihad, (meaning holy war). The name Shihad was taken from a mis-spelling of the word jihad in the sci-fi novel Dune. Now known as Pacifier, they are set play their first gig at the LA’s hip Viper Room.
