I second this, the man is very famous in the Arab world. My wife is Algerian, which is in the Maghrib and not even part of the Eastern Arab world, and she and other Algerians around her knew of him. In fact the first thing this morning, she called me and told me that she was shocked at his death. I had no idea he passed away living here, in America. Evidentially it was all over the news in Algeria. K. Southall 208.65.192.1 (talk) 19:44, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
