Talk:Palestinian National Anthem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The biladi anthem is not written by Touqan , nor is it composed by flaifel , this information is about maoutini , and not biladi or the alternative anthim fidaee.--Mayz 21:08, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

once again the "wrong" information was added regarding thewriter, composer and the musician , this article is talking about "biladi" , and the information here is about "mawtini" , the text is for mawtini and the lyrics is for biladi !!! and no , touqan did not write biladi , and no i dont know who wrote it !!!and eaven in the arabic wikipedia , there is still unclear details , so there are redundunt articles , see here and here --Mayz 20:29, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

It would help if we had some definitive info, unfortunately, nobody in the Wiki community seems to have any yet. For my page (the david.national-anthems.net/ps.htm that has been referred to as a source in the main article), I asked fellow anthem researchers who have contacts with governments what they have found. I know that one of these people, [Michael Bristow] has on his page the Touqan/Flayfel information, and I do tend to trust him normally, seeing as how I mentioned he usually gets his information right from goverment sources. I also happen to know through other sites that Touqan was a prolific writer, so it woudlnt' surprise me that he wrote more than just "Mawtini". --Canuckguy 08:25, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Finally found it, via a visitor to my site from the Palestinian lands! According to him: "it was written by Said Al Muzayin (aka Fata Al Thawra), and its music was composed by Egyptian maestro Ali Ismael". I'll change the page. (It might also be confirmed on this page from the Palestinian National Information Centre, but not being well-versed in Arabic, I can't confirm. Can anyone check? --Canuckguy 03:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Now I'm more confused than ever! It seems the page as it stood before mentioned the Muzayin/Ismael" work as "Fedayeen", and that seems to be what the PNIC song is titled (the English version of the above site has that word all over the place!). The melody is the same as what we have called "Biladi", but is this the same as "Fedayeen"? I've been bold in my edit and assumed this, but maybe, after some investigation into the Arabic PNIC page it might shed some light? (And, on a related note, why is this page not on Arabic Wikipedia?) --Canuckguy 03:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
