Yes, those of us familiar with Islam did. ;o) (Not being snarky.)
Did anyone else know this? I just heard it this morning.
Buraq Obama. (There, I said it first !)
isn’t he the democrat nominee for president? Buraq Osama
I have also heard Baraq is the shortened form of Mubaraq.
There is no way that "Barack" can be construed to mean "Buraq" - it's like saying that the word "cot" and the word "cat" have the same meaning in English.
"Barack" is a variant of "baraq" meaning "blessed."
Obama's first name is closer in sound to the Hebrew word for lightning than it is to the Arabic word for lightning.

A flying horse?
I thought it was a horse, not a chimera, interesting, but I’ll go with Baraq means Mohammed’s Jackass (donkey) for the political season.
Barack Hussein Obama - Verily, the jackass who will bring an obamanation.
Barack is just Baraq anglicized.
Mo was smokin' some pretty righteous schtuff back then, wasn't he?
Palin compared her self to a bulldog, Barry is named after a magical flying horse. Which is goofier?
LUCIFER is described as “light bearer” in Hebrew. Barack in Hebrew is “lightening.” Hussein means Handsome. Lucifer is good looking. Obama in Luo means “crooked” or “not in a straight line” or “zig-zag.” Enter ye in at the strait gate, says the Lord, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it (Matt. 7:13-14).
Which leads me to the educated conclusion that Revelation 13:18 speaks of Barack Hussein Obama (the Jr or II meaning not the original but in his likeness): Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.
The Number of the Beast:”six hundred threescore six.”
Barack Hussein Obama can translate: “Lucifer.”
All Scripture is from KJV.
Yes. I’ve posted regularly that the fixation on the “Hussein” in his name is misplaced, that having him named after the winged horse who conveyed Mohammed to Paradise is much more poetically potent.
Winged horse with tail of a peacock and breasts of a woman... dunno about the tail, but have you seen those shirtless beach-shots in People Mag? Guy’s got bodacious man-boobs.
So a Buraq is a magical islamic jacka$$? Brilliant!
