Just a suggestion, something I may get around to doing myself: this article appears to be based on only one source. The legacy of Sati' al-Husri is also examined in some depth in Kanan Makiya's Republic of Fear: The Politics of Modern Iraq. It might also be helpful to mention his son, Khaldun, who was an important intellectual in his own right.


Was he born in Sanaa or Aleppo? I would assume Aleppo. Or is Sanaa also the name of a village near Aleppo? Presently the link redirects to the capital of Yemen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.243.250.33 (talk) 22:43, 21 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

His father worked as Ottoman official in Sanaa, Yemen, when he was born. --Maltebruessel (talk) 23:58, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Noting that I've removed the following text under "quotes" for its internal inconsistency. Could be added back at such a time when someone can actually confirm the source. Originally it read: "'We can say that the system to which we should direct our hopes and aspirations is a Fascist system' (1930), translated by William L. Cleveland, The Making of an Arab Nationalist: Ottomanism and Arabism in the Life and Thought of Sati' al-Husri (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1971), p. 127. This quote does not exist in William L. Cleveland's book, The Making of an Arab Nationalist: Ottomanism and Arabism in the Life and Thought of Sati al-Husri."Jackie.salzinger (talk) 09:48, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
