Damn, true tho. Also it's Michigan, a lot of michiganders know some Arab-Americans. This is like someone running for a New York office being criticized for being named Moses Goldstein. It's hard to find Arab names scary when you know an Ahmad and he's a chill dude

That’s my senator!

(Tanis lives in Oregon. She gives not one fuck about her location and whether it relates to other candidates representing her. She is not having of fucks, she is fuckless.)

I loved you in Borderlands.

Patricia Tannis killed someone for an office chair.

Tanis Nikana is at least twice that sane. If that can be quantified.

Potentially two people and one office chair. It's rather unclear.

Every name mentioned here is super common. They're just written in a scary foreigner language from the Quran instead of a white people language like... Uhh... Hebrew...

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 45 minutes ago

Nope. It's not rare, but it's not like every Arab knows an Osama or anything like that.

Say his name!
