'Your baby looks like Saddam Hussein'

Must have been the Stalinesque mustache.

The Local (Swedish edition)

An administrator at the Swedish Migration Board (Migrationsverket) is facing disciplinary action after telling a family of Iraqi asylum seekers that their newborn baby looked like Saddam Hussein.

[...]

The comparison of the baby to the former Iraqi dictator came during an interview conducted last year between the employee and an asylum seeking couple from Iraq who brought their newborn infant along to the meeting.

“Who do you think he looks like?” one of the proud parents asked the Migration Board employee.

“Saddam Hussein,” the man replied.

But wait, there's more. This chap seems to have a slight miscalibration of his internal censor when it comes to veiled women too.

In other news, Sweden's unemployment rate over the past year has fluctuated between a high of 8.8% to a low of 6.6%
