Ahmed Ragab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ahmad Ragab is a famous Egyptian satirist writing in Al-Akhbar news paper. Ragab is known by writing Nos Kelma (Half a Word); usually a few lines of satire, and used to provide cartoonist Mustafa Hussein with ideas for the daily Al-Akhbar's cartoon on its last page. He is sometimes considered as a national institution by himself^[1].

Ragab, like many of his colleagues across the Islamic world, is known to be a rabid anti-semite. Writing in Al-Akhbar in April 2001 he said: ”[Give] thanks to Hitler. He took revenge on the Israelis in advance, on behalf of the Palestinians. Our one complaint against him was that his revenge was not complete enough."^[2]
