Modern Egyptian Faces
(Including Turks and Turk Mulattoes)
Muhammad Anwar el-Sadat -
His father, Anwar Mohammed El Sadat, was an Upper Egyptian, (by
Egyptian convention - Southern Egypt - the Nile flows south to north):
and his mother, Sit Al-Berain, was born to an Egyptian mother and a
Sudanese father. Though clearly a mulatto, Sadat was more Black
Egyptian than Turk. But the Turks and Turk Mulattoes hit the Roof when
it was announced that Louis Gossett Jr. (an American Black actor) would
play Sadat.
In 2001 the Turks and Turk Mulattoes - made their own film about Sadat, it is called Ayyam El Sadat "The Days of Sadat".
It stared Ahmad Zaki, He is much lighter than Louis Gossett (and Sadat), this seems to have made them much happier.
Don't laught at them, they get mad easy.
Omar Sharif
was born Michel Yusef Dimitri Chalhoub in Alexandria, Kingdom of Egypt
(now Arab Republic of Egypt), to a Melkite Greek Catholic family of
Lebanese descent, making him and his family members of the Antiochian
Greek Christian minority (also known as Rūm). He adopted the surname
Sharif, meaning "noble" or "nobleman" in Arabic, after converting to
Islam in the 1950s. His father, Yusef Chalhoub, a precious-woods
merchant, moved to the port city of Alexandria with his mother in the
early 20th century from Zahle. Sharif was later born in Alexandria. His
family moved to Cairo when he was four. His mother, Claire Saada, was a
noted society hostess, in whose house Egypt's King Farouk was a regular
visitor prior to his deposition in 1952.
