This is a biography of a computer science and mathematics professor. At most this should have a few sentences. I am going to cut this down considerably right now. Sorry Nish. You are right that things shouldnt be distorted by Karsh, but cmon this person is not defined by this quote. nableezy - 01:45, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

For your information, Segev was incorrect in saying that I uploaded the Azzam interview to Wikipedia, but correct about everything else. (1) An original newspaper was obtained by a friend of mine in Cairo and sent to me by snail-mail. (2) David Barnett or a buddy of his obtained a scan of it from me by asking under a fake name. (3) Barnett and Karsh claimed all the credit. Any other version of the story is bullshit. The scan of the newspaper at Middle East Quarterly was made personally by me from the original that I still have in my office. As far as I am aware, it remains the only published scan.

The result of the move request was: moved. I note the concerns regarding the long-term significance of the mathematician compared to the baseball player; however, consensus is that there is no primary topic for this title. ( non-admin closure) – Lord Bolingbroke ( talk) 10:12, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
