Among POLITICIANS

Among politicians, Emir Abdelkader ranks 1,648 out of 19,576.

When the rioters clamored at his door, the Emir brandished his sword, while invoking Islamic law regarding the protection of innocents.

His moral courage earned him global acclaim from the likes of President Buchanan, Queen Victoria, Pope Pius IX, and Tsar Alexander II. The Emir later wrote, “What I did was merely obedience to our sacred law and to the precepts of humanity… When we think about how rare are the real champions of truth, and when one sees ignorant people who imagine Islamism is about severity, hardness, excess and barbarism, it is time to repeat these words: ‘Patience is godliness, trust in God.’”

In 1873, based on faulty information, The New York Times prematurely eulogied the Emir: “The nobility of his character, no less than the brilliancy of his exploits in the field, long ago won for him the admiration of the world… Abd-el-kader deserves to be ranked among the foremost of the few great men of the century.” The Emir died on May 26, 1883.

Because of this, he received awards from all over the world. People started to feel sorry for Abdelkader. An Islamicscholar and Sufi who unexpectedlyfoundhimselfleading a military campaign, he built up a collection of Algeriantribesmen that for many yearssuccessfully held out against one of the most advancedarmies in Europe.

After him are Dihya (700), Princess Charlotte, Duchess of Valentinois (1898), Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (1933), Juba I of Numidia (-85), Houari Boumédiène (1932), and Martianus Capella (360).

They were trying to settle the Plains of Mitidja.
