For the record, there are several acceptable ways to spell Saïd — "Saeed," "Sayid," "Saeid" — but I accept only one, with the diaeresis included.
When the theme was first heard, it suggested Sayid's sympathy for his brother, but now it indicated a dawning suspicion: Sayid was being asked to resume his wicked ways.
"Our members are not angels, there's a limit to how much they can bear".Tellingly, when the Brothers opened a new complex in Jordan's second city, Irbid, it named the main hall, Sayid Qutb, after a wayward leader of Egypt's Brotherhood, who in the 1950s preached jihad against Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's then president and the Pharaoh of the day.
I was being guided by Sayid Sa'ad Aziz al-Hilli al-Moussawi, a shopkeeper and community leader, in a working-class neighbourhood called Jadaid al-Rabiya, built on an escarpment from which one could see "the Sea of Najaf", a large lake swollen by the floods.
Series one On a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles, Oceanic flight 815 crash-landed on a deserted Pacific island, leaving 48 survivors, including: handsome doctor Jack, sexy fugitive Kate, smouldering conman Sawyer, miraculously cured paraplegic Locke, former Iraqi torturer Sayid, heroin-addicted rock star Charlie, overweight lottery winner Hurley and a dog called Vincent.
Series five Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sun, Sayid and Claire's baby returned to the mainland claiming they were the only survivors of the crash.
But Sayid and the Others somehow kicked their asses anyway.
The man principally responsible for the grisly tests, and much else besides, was a 55-year-old Egyptian chemist called Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar, better known by his nom-de-guerre, Abu Khabab al-Masri.
"Before, I was not even allowed into the polling station," said Mohamed el-Sayid Auf, a stooped 52-year-old engineer and Muslim Brotherhood supporter voting in a poor neighborhood here.
He reintroduced the pensive Sayid-Nadia theme.
Last December, the Assembly passed a resolution proposing that the future State of Libya be a federal monarchy, under the crown of Sayid Mohammed Idris el Mahdi el Senussi, Emir of Cyrenaica, the spiritual and political leader of three million Senussi tribesmen, and the country's most powerful personality.
