+==== Overview ====
+A [[hall of infamy|now-banned]] long-time member of the [[New Board|Board]]. He's been around since the [[offtopic:Old Board]], where he used to have arguments with an Armenian, [[offtopic:Rafi Issoghlian]], about the [[Armenian Genocide]]. Had a long break from the Board but recently returned. Appears to have left again after being kicked during a discussion with Susano about nationhood. Expert on the [[alternate_history:Ottoman_Empire|Ottoman]] and [[alternate_history:byzantine_empire|Byzantine]] empires. Now has returned once more through the revolving door originally installed for [[Midgard]], a device which has proven useful for people who take a break from the site to use.
 Often shortened to 'AHP'. Is known for being able to twist questions about, say, the American Civil War or Bangladeshi politics into a discussion of how great the Ottoman Empire was.
+He was eventually banned in 2011 for repeated insults against Ian and other board members. This caused many arguments in the [[Hall of Infamy]].
+==== The Pasha and Wikipedia ====
 Abdul is also well-known for frequently condemning [[Wikipedia]] for its lack of factual accuracy.
-Abdul's opinion on Wikipedia is well reflected in the following quote:
+Abdul's opinion on Wikipedia is well reflected in the following quotes:
 //   "(...) I could give a rat's ass, and even then I probably wouldn't, because it's Wikipedia, which was given to us by Satan to end history."//
+//"I just looked at the Wikipedia article - what a disaster! The talkback page is longer than War and Peace. They should shoot Wikipedia and put it out of its misery. And perhaps save the world in the process."// (when looking at the entry on the Kosovo issue)
+==== AH.com Politics ====
+Abdul was one of the Legendary Board Members, and it was felt that he deserved a Special Cabinet Post, especially since we love Ottoman Zeppelins and he has a thing for good grammar.  Thus, he was appointed as one of the few non-party members and non=MPs to be awarded a Cabinet post as Minister of Grammatical Correctness & Ottoman Zeppelins by [[offtopic:Acting President]] [[offtopic:Sargon]].
+He is also currently the Sultan of the [[the moon|Moon]] having been appointed as such by Sargon. His personal Janissaries make up the elite forces stationed there.
