One of the strangest stories I’ve heard in a while. Is it true?

Residents of a town in south Jordan plan to go to court to appeal a decision by the government that banned them from renaming their town after former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein… In protest to the government’s decision, residents of the town, called Al-Rumeitha, also agreed to name all new born males during January after Saddam Hussein… When the former Iraqi president was executed three years ago, residents erected a symbolic tomb in his honour and are currently building a mosque to be named after the dictator.
