Change Your Middle Name to Hussein Until the Election

October 19th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Ethics: General, People Helping People, Social and Economic Justice, Uncategorized, Web 2.0/Social Media

Does your skin crawl every time you hear Ann Coulter, William Bennett or some other radical-right wingnut savor the pleasure of saying “Barack HUSSEIN Obama”

Did you take pleasure in learning the famous story of World War II Denmark, when the Nazis ordered all the Jews to wear yellow stars–and the King of Denmark proudly pinned one on, as did many of his countryfolk?

Well, we’re not alone. Mark Hussein Gordon, of sonomacreative.com, has set up a Facebook group called Hussein is my name too! All you have to do is join, change your middle name in your profile, and remember to change it back after the election, and you can show solidarity both with Barack and with the Arab and Muslim communities by being Hussein for a couple of weeks.

I think this is brilliant. And I thank Robin Hussein Blum for drawing it to my attention.
