"Jobs was born in San Francisco[1] and was adopted by the family of Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs (née Hagopian) of Mountain View, California.[5] Paul and Clara later adopted a daughter, Patti. Jobs' biological parents Abdulfattah John Jandali, a Syrian Muslim immigrant to the U.S.,[24][25] who later became a political science professor at the University of Nevada and is presently a vice president of Boomtown Hotel Casino in Reno, Nevada,[26] and Joanne Schieble (later Simpson), an American graduate student[27] of Swiss and German ancestry[28] who went on to become a speech language pathologist[29] eventually married." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs#cite_note-23>

Depends. Does Islam encourage free, creative thought?
To: dfwgator
I wonder if that was really his birth name.

Talk is cheap.
Did the father try to get Steve back before or after Steve became famous. He had other children with Steve’s mother. So he must have a history of trying to reverse the adoption process.

SJ’s biological parents made a huge sacrifice in order to give their child a better life. The father was respectful by only writing letters/emails. SJ was a jerk IMO. IIRC he ignored his first born child for years.
A lot is made out of this guy being a visionary & a genius. While that may be true, it would not surprise me if he were a total jerk.

I don’t admire Steve for initially denying paternity. But he embraced his daughter in time.
Good for him.

I’m certainly not prepared to pass judgment. I would probably feel similarly to Jobs if I had been abandoned.

Depends. Does Islam encourage free, creative thought?Well, in fairness, I did down grade him to KSM. A mind capable of inventing Apple, iPhone, etc. Should be capable of bettering the 9-11 plot, even if it was battered by islam.

Jobs had real parents, the people who adopted him. This guy is a sperm donor not a father.

Most Lebanese and many Syrians were, but not the ME as a whole.

I suspect there’s a lot of things between the two that we don’t know about.

Exactly. My father was adopted. His bio dad made some tentative overtures, through my uncle. My dad wasn’t interested. He wasn’t angry or hurt, he just had a dad. He didn’t need another one.
My grandpa stepped up and was the father of my dad. That’s who we loved and respected as grandpa. I have no interest in the man who is biologically related to me. We have no history together, he never even laid eyes on my dad. So really, there’s nothing to connect us. And I feel that it would be disrespectful to my grandpa.
To: americanophile
Is the father muslim? Maybe not.
