Is Obama Muslim/Saddam's relative?

Postby Singapore Islands » Thu Dec 10, 2015 3:49 am

I simply got curious as I noticed his name was a tad bit "off".

...

And from Wikipedia, It seems that his middle name is Hussein. So I did some search and found out some conspiracies about his family line. I do npt remember where the links are, but they all seem untrusted, I want to hear everyone's opinion on this as this seems to influence some happenings in the world, like how the USA has been reluctant to attack the Daesh troops. I know I sound like a conspiracy nut, but could this be really connected to Obama's family line.
And i so, could he be cited for treason?

If Saddam is the lizard king over the middle east then yes he is a relative of Obama but if he isn't then no.

There is absolutely not one single link between Saddam Hussein and Barack Obama; your hypothesis is based on a wilful misunderstanding of given names of Arabic origin. 'Hussein' is not a family name, but rather a given name; it's a version of the word 'Hassan', meaning 'handsome' or 'good'.

Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti was from a family of shepherds based near the town of Tikrit in north-central Iraq; his second given name comes from his father Hussein Abd al-Majid.

Barack Hussein Obama II is named after his father, a member of the Luo ethnic group from Western Kenya.

Claiming that they're related on the basis of the shared name 'Hussein' is a bit like claiming that a Spaniard from Toledo and a Filipino from Cebu are related because they both have the middle name 'Carlos'.

Really, this is probably the silliest suggestion I've ever seen in NSG; which is saying something.


And that aside, Obama is not a Muslim.

Read: it sounded foreign.
Next we're going to be clamouring that Obama is only one letter removed from Osama.

And from Wikipedia, It seems that his middle name is Hussein.

My middle name is Clemens. Does that mean I'm related to several popes? I hope I am, 'cause it would give me justification in wearing that hat.

So I did some search and found out some conspiracies about his family line.

Conspiracies aren't exactly known for their accuracy, yeah.
like how the USA has been reluctant to attack the Daesh troops.[/quote
There're almost certainly other factors affecting this. For instance, wars, and particularly wars in the middle east, being vastly unpopular.
Also, even if, by some mad coincidence, Obama were related to Saddam, the latter arguably led a secular government. A shitty one, granted, but a secular one. Daesh is... just about the furthest removed from secular that you can get. So... what's the reasoning here again?
I know I sound like a conspiracy nut, but could this be really connected to Obama's family line.

About the same chance of this being true as the moon actually being made of cheese.

I've used the same reasoning to claim I am the long-lost descendant of king Salomo, making me rightful heir to the throne of Greater Judea. So far, Benjamin hasn't replied to my letters.

Hm. Confusing, is he the secret relative of the King of Tonga? If so, maybe I should add that I'm also a relative of Obama in my countless letters claiming I am his heir. Now, I have to find a way to assassinate him without him seeing my face...
