He should have gone to the Dome of the Rock, as he is named after Borock (or Burock, depending on translators spelling from the Arabic) the flying horse that delivered Mohamed from that rock, up to Heaven. I am not making this up. I lived and worked in Israel and when Barry first came forward, I thought his name sounded familiar. It sure did ring a bell from my tours of the Temple Mount.
I couldn't understand why everyone was up in arms about “Hussein”, when the first name is the real mind bender.

Probably because far more Americans had heard of Saddam Hussein than Barack (sp?) the horse. And our media certainly wasn’t/isn’t going to educate the public on this detail.

But the name of Mohammed’s horse would have been much more controversial if more Americans known that story. I suggested the location of the Sermon on the Mount because Obama is avoiding all associations with Islam on this trip, and going to some extremes to avoid any unwanted signs or backdrops to his main speech in Germany.
