I believe “Hussein” is a name unique to Arab Islamic culture...I’ve never heard of a Christian Arab with that name. Am I wrong?

I am pretty sure “Hussein” was a cousin of Mohammad. He is the progenitor of Shia and I forget the one who supported what is now Sunni.

I know Hussein was killed in battle and the “King Hussein” of Jordan was a direct descendant of Mad Mo. Interesting since King Hussein was one of the few moderate Moslems.

You could ask the same question about "Barack."

I’ve never heard of ...
