Nour El-Sherif (Arabic: نور الشريف‎‎; 28 April 1946 – 11 August 2015) was a contemporary Egyptian actor. His birth name is Mohamad Geber Mohamad ِAbd Allah (Arabic: محمد جابر محمد عبد الله‎‎).
El-Sherif was born in the working-class neighbourhood of Sayeda Zainab in Cairo (Arabic: السيدة زينب‎‎). El-Sherif was married to Poussi (1972–2006) and together they had two daughters, Sarah and Mai. He got divorced from Poussi in 2006 and they reunited in early 2015 during the difficulty of his illness. He also played soccer before choosing acting as a career. Nour El-Sherif is sometimes credited as Nour El Cherif, Nour El-Cherif or Nour Al-Sharif. He died on August 11, 2015, Cairo, Egypt.

Political Opinions

In an interview which aired on Egypt’s CBC TV on October 6, 2011 (as translated by MEMRI), El-Sharif claimed that “when it comes to the Holocaust, there is no freedom of speech.” He also stated that “When a Frenchman wrote a Ph.D. dissertation, in which he proved that the [gas] chambers were a Jewish… an Israeli lie, they revoked his doctorate. That’s another thing – the Israeli lobby has infiltrated France so deeply that the Sorbonne revoked a doctoral degree that it had awarded a researcher.”

In an interview which aired on Egypt’s CBC TV on September 7, 2014 (as translated by MEMRI), Al-Sharif claimed that the attacks of September 11, 2001 were the “result of an internal American conflict” between the “U.S. presidency and the CIA.”

Death

Nour El-Sherif died from an unspecified illness in Cairo at the age of 69 in 2015 after a severe struggle from the disease.
