When I had my daughter baptised I had to include a name that went with that religion.
When Cassius Clay Became a Muslim he too had to take a Muslim name,alias Muhammad Ali.
So you all don't think Barack "HUSSEIN" Obama isn't a Muslim.????
I see him as one and even more, the word anti-Christ comes to mind.

And so what if he IS Muslim. I don't believe he is... but hey, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Say he is. WHY does that make him the "anti-christ"??

that name does not become the middle name, does not get added to the birth certificate.

sweet molasses - stop stretching small facts his middle name is Hussein, his parents chose that name, not a church, not a religion, not a following, find real facts and focus on those.

Here's a thought for you. How about you open your eyes just enough to see that just because someone isn't Christian, doesn't make them evil. And just because someone is Muslim, doesn't make them a terrorist.

Here's another thought for you... Hussein is about as common of a name over there as Jones or Smith is over here. Come on now. "THINK" about it...

ha ha ha

Do a little research on names please.

--------

Oh and on this whole anti-Christ thing if he was the anti-Christ why worry? Aren't all you folks who believe in that sort of thing happily looking forward to the end of times?

After all, then you will all go to live with your god while the unbelievers all writhe in the eternal flames of damnation? Given the tone of the comments of some religious types I would think they'd have a parade for the anti-Christ.

Ditto and exactly, Mr. Obama did not have anything to do with the name his parents bestowed on him so why is he being so degraded by being called the Anti-Christ ?

It's his name and he should be proud of it.

Jill

people just keep spewing misinformation

Because he is A threat to fooling the people with his golden tongue of lies.
Why did his parents choose Hussien then,Mam

I don't know about you... but I didn't pick my own name. And I sure hell would hope people wouldn't think I'm evil because of my name.

WHY not??? It's a common name. Hussein does NOT equal terrorist.

why not ask his parents directly?

what is your middle name? where you named after a family member, did you parents just like that name, does it stand for something/someone they admired???

has nothing to do with you, your parents name you.

Are you truly that closed minded that because of his middle name... he's the anti christ??? I mean really? You really believe that? That's just plain ignorance... Which is much more dangerous than his "golden tongue"

You know, don't you about the middle name Wayne!

Clearly those with the middle name Wayne are evil!!

The Classic Middle Name

It only occurred to me in the early 1990s that "Wayne" was a popular middle name among a few of the most heinous murderers of our time, e.g., the clown John Wayne Gacy (who killed almost three dozen boys and young men in the late 1970s and buried most of them beneath the floorboards of his Des Plaines, Ill., home) and Elmer Wayne Henley (sentenced to six consecutive life terms in 1974 in Houston for his role, with ringleader Dean Allen Corll, in the murders of 27 young men). I began to publish periodic lists in 1996, and soon readers made sure I never missed a one that made the news.

This is a mighty impressive (so to speak) group, and below is an alpha listing.

But first, several disclaimers:

(1) Theoretically, a few of these people are probably innocent (or, if not "innocent," then at least the charges have been dropped). At the first instant that I find out about such a person on my list, I wipe him off and publish a correction in the weekly News of the Weird column. But, rest easy: The vast majority of these men, no matter how much they protest, are in fact murderers.

(2) I have been too unmotivated to update the list in other respects. Most notably, there should be more names (i.e., some have been withheld because they were mere "suspects," but many of those were subsequently arrested, not to mention convicted), and there should be more, well, dead people on the list, if you get my drift. (I have only designated the executions that I know about.)

(3) My list is only of murderers (or those charged with murder). Manslaughter is not enough. Other violent crimes are not enough. And it's only of middle-name Waynes who have been in the news; I have not pored over penitentiary rosters to get the old-timer Waynes.

(4) Before anyone asks me, I will answer: No, I have no idea whether the number of middle-named Wayne murderers is statistically significant. I suspect that aggressive-personality fathers during the 1950s and 1960s did in fact hopefully and disproportionately name their boys after that era's icon of ruggedness, John Wayne. Beyond that, I dare not venture.

Herewith is the list, as of News of the Weird M047, March 2, 2008 (*deceased):

oi vey

You all go ahead and vote for him then.I can see how the foolish will inherit the Earth.

I'm sure this has everything to do with his middle name but nothing to do with his race. Yes, that's right. A middle name says everything there is to know about a person.

you are 'judging' someone by their middle name - yet call us foolish?

you judge another human being calling them the anti christ - yet we are the foolish ones?

must be nice and easy to spew your hatred and not find gullible sheep to follow you around.

True his father's religion was Islam and this should assist you in understanding his parents reasons for giving him his name.

People are given names that may reflect their upbringings and religious affiliations, is it right to belittle them for this.

Mr. Bush gave us his Golden Tongue of Lies as well as others, do we disrespect him for being named ...say after his father and the 1st President of the United States who supposedly didn't tell any lies?

Try and be open minded and fair and not try to play on society's fears, this man worked hard to reach this level.

Not all people with different sounding names are terrorist or bad people and a lot of them are contributing members within this society.

Oh about the Christians..During the Crusades the christians took over the holy city that the muslims had control of.In doing so the christians killed everyone in that city the muslims and the other christians because those christians weren't of the same "christian faith" as the christians that took control of the city.
