Stupid Americans

Isis is the name of an ancient Egyptian goddess for motherhood and healing. ISIS is the name of terrorist group. Not related.

Unfortunately, many Americans believe that businesses in America with the name Isis in it are related to a terrorist group.

Example 1

Example 2

If a terrorist group really wants to cause destruction in the USA, perhaps all they have to do is call their little organization by a more 'American' name like Johnson, or William, or Smith, then let all the stupid Americans do their work for them.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. We are a nation of offended morons.

... and Barack is the name of the horse that carried Islamic prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem. Further, Hussein is exclusively a Muslim name, and even Arabs who are Christian would never have that name.

Again?

Citation?

I found an Al-Buraq (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buraq) but not a Barack. I see where Barack is a name that means "blessed" (http://blog.dictionary.com/barack-obama-name/). Regardless, it's a name. You're really stretching the semantics.

And even if that name were exclusively muslim, that doesn't mean all who bear it ARE muslim.

Here's what I do know. The facts listed above don't fit your agenda and you "ain't a changin' your mind".

Dear bbfreeburn:

The original post deals with NAMES and ISLAM (ISIS).

Dear bbfreeburn:

NO, the OP deals with Stupid Americans and how they associate almost anything with Muslims or terrorists. Point proven?

Dear bbfreeburn:

The original post deals with NAMES and ISLAM (ISIS).

Actually the OP deals with an Egyptian goddess named Isis. Please hone your reading skills.

Aphrodite gets all the Press, but if you ask me, Isis is pretty hot herself.

 

[bbfreeburn]

Odd, isn't it, that most of those look pretty American, not Egyptian? Hmmm, seems that there's another guy, a carpenters son, from ancient history with the same problem.

 

[9andaWiggle]

Can't argue with that...

 

[MI2AZ]

America is a melting pot, supposedly.

 

[WAMO]

I THINK AMERICA IS JUST MELTING.

Huh? WTF does that have to do with anything?

Dear Djarum300:

At least, I got your attention.

I don't see how not having a point and Dj pointing that out is an accomplishment.
