"Nawaz entered the spotlight when as part of a compulsory year abroad as part of his university degree, he travelled to Egypt and was jailed and tortured." - One has to ask if Nawaz was compelled specifically to go to a country where an organization of which he was a leading light was banned - if not, why did he choose to go there ? ? ?
Born in 77 not 78
I have altered Nawaz's birthday to 1977 based on a tax return document I got from the critical Nathan lean article of Nawaz in the New Republic. I know some may be not like it that I got it from an article by a known critic of Nawaz, but I see no reason to question it as no one has claimed that the document is fake.
Further it is supported by other articles. This New York Times article [[1]] from September 12 2007 lists Nawaz age as 29 which is before his November 2 birthday. Also this Sunday Times article [[2]] from September 2014 lists his age as 36, also before his November 2 birthday.
In looking at the history of this article I think what happened was that whoever created this article listed his birth year as 1978 and then later when his November 2 birthday was discovered, people just assumed that was correct. I don't think he himself ever said he was born in 78 and people just assumed because nobody asked him directly.
I know that the Guardian interview article list's him as being born in 78, but the person interviewing him could have simply been basing it off the Wikipedia article. Given the evidence I've gathered, The New York Times, The Sunday Times and the tax return document, I believe I've made a convincing case that November 2, 1977 is the right birthdate. annoynmous19:04, 31 December 2106 (UTC)[reply]
