Let me guess here.   Am I to believe he had the middle name, Hussein, inserted only after his mother married this (other?) Islamic guy?

Assuming for a moment he was given the name Hussein at birth, what does this step-father bear the brunt of the Islamic association?

If Barak only inserted the middle name Hussein upon the step-father's entry into Barak's sphere of influence, what made him at that time of life, want to insert that middle name? Why, when he later supposedly converted to Christianity, did he not remove the middle name (if it was only belatedly inserted anyway).

To whom has Barak been giving honor by keeping that middle name? Has he been so culturally tone-deaf that he doesn't know lots of Islamic Fundamentalists consider it their duty to carry out capital punishment for those who turn their back on Islam by later converting to another religion.

He could have removed the likelihood of being beheaded just by dropping the name, which he supposedly only picked up later in life anyway.

Barack HUssein Obama was given that name at birth. Both his father and grandfather carried the name Hussein -- that's three generations of Husseins and three generations of Muslims.

When Obama lived with this (other?) Islamic guy, he went by the name of Barry Soetoro.

He became Barack Hussein Obama again when his mother sent him to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.
