A Man of Principle
The article recounts that Falah al-Madadah, a minister in Bahjat al-Talhouni’s government in 1960, criticized the King in person for relying on people of principle when they were needed, then casting them aside. He left the royal court alongside Sheikh Muhammad Amin al-Shanqiti. After his son Khaled was arrested in Syria, he told the King that he had wanted to experience the feelings of fathers whose sons had been unjustly arrested. From then on, he refused to enter the palace until his death. The article presents his story as an example of upholding one’s dignity and refusing to trade it for positions or gains.
