"I'm saying the one with the middle name he has, was a terrorist.”"
That argument might hold some weight but for the following:
Because Hussein is a very common name in Bangladesh
How common is the name Adolf Hitler? How many people are currently named Adolf Hitler?
Then there's this
Barack Obama's middle name is in honor of his grandfather, Hussein, a secular resident of Nairobi.
So since she's comparing Obama's middle name to her son's, is she honoring Adolf Hitler by naming her child as Barack Obama was named?
And then there's more
Americans may think of Saddam Hussein when they hear the name, but that is like thinking of Stalin when you hear the name Joseph. There have been
lots of Husseins in history, from the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, a hero who touched the historian Gibbon, to King Hussein of Jordan, one of
America's most steadfast allies in the 20th century.
So this is a very poor comparison to make.
She's whats known as a racist person who wants to honor a mass murdering psycho.
