Between 2002 and the 17th of September 2004 [[Shihad]] was known as [[Pacifier]]

=To Pacifier=
Take yourself back to thee 11th of September attack in 2001. Well [[Shihad]] was trying to make it into the US, [[Shihad]] sounded awfully like Jihad. [[Shihad]]'s American label laid on the pressure to change the name. [[Shihad]] settled on the name of [[Pacifier]] after the [[Pacifier (song)|Pacifier Song]].

Well they didn't break in the US market and their experiences in the US weren't that good. 
More things to mention that support the troops concert etc

Well the [[Shihad]] fans at the NZ and Aussie [[Gigs]] still chanted "Shihad, Shihad, Shihad...." for the encore. While waiting to come back out [[Jon Toogood | Jon]] would lay the seeds for changing the name back, with things like "Doesn't that sound good". [[Karl Kippenberger | Karl]] apparently supporting [[Jon Toogood | Jon]] by nodding and agreeing etc. Then [[Tom Larkin | Tom]] apparently came around to the idea of changing the name back to [[Shihad]] and then [[Phil Knight | Phil]] come around to the idea as well. (I need to check all this as I am going off the top of my head  from what I can remember of a Home Grown Shihad special on C4 [[User:Karit|karit]] 17:25, 9 March 2007 (MST)).

Then on 17th of September 2004 [[Shihad.com | Pacifierband.com]] in the lead up to [[Alive (ep)|Alive]] and [[Love Is the New Hate (album) | Love Is the New Hate]] announced to the world that they were changing their name back to [[Shihad]]
