His exemplary life of moral courage, compassion, self-restraint, intellectual accomplishment and chivalry in war can inspire, regardless of nationality or religion.

19 Class of 1915, Elkader (Iowa) High School honored Emir Abdelkader Such is the history of the man for whom our town is named. A scholar, a philosopher, a lover of liberty; a champion of his religion, a born leader of men, a great soldier; a capable administrator, a persuasive orator; a chivalrous opponent; the selection was well made, and with those pioneers of seventy years ago, we do honor The Shiek.

20 The form of worship may change, but not the Master, for the God of the Christians is also ours. We are only different in the way we address ourselves to Him. - Emir Abdelkader Thank You!
