Abdesslam Yassine (1928 – December 13, 2012) was the leader of the Moroccan Islamist organisation Al Adl Wa Al Ihssane (Justice and Spirituality).
Yassine was born in Marrakesh. He worked as a teacher and a school inspector for the Ministry of Education, and from 1965 on, was a member of one of the most famous Moroccan Sufi brotherhoods, the Boutchichiyya. Yassine reportedly fell out with the leadership of the brotherhood over its refusal to engage more directly in political matters, and founded his own organisation. Yassine was jailed in a mental asylum for three years for publishing an open letter to King Hassan II denouncing his rule as unIslamic. Following his release he was kept under house arrest for many years, before eventually being released in the early years of the rule of King Mohammed VI. Yassine’s many publications include L’Islam ou le Deluge (Islam or the Flood), probably the best known of his works. He died, aged 84, on 13 December 2012. He was married to Khadija Al Malki who died in late March 2015.

In addition to starring on the series, Wolfe also created and executive produced the show. He signed an endorsement deal with Indian Motorcycles and created a sitcom that was purchased by CBS. Wolfe has also authored books including American Pickers Guide to Picking in 2011.
