From the NY Times:

Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father.
“Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads.

I have noticed that a number of ethnic and religious groups have no problem expresing thier views in a way that identifies who they are (i.e., writing Ed/Op pieces, wearing t-shirts that identify their political affiliation -- Jews for McCain, Catholics for McCain, Catholics for the Environment,etc.). But, Muslism are consistnetly in the shadows. The other day I was wearing a Muslims for Obama shirt that I made myself (since the Obama campaign doesn't sell them online) and was accosted, not by a non-Muslim but by a fellow Muslm.
