In this interview with the mouthpiece of Prince Salman and his sons, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, `Amr Hamzawi asserts that he is a practicing Muslim and that he last year performed the Hajj and that his sister and mother wear the hijab. Will `Amr now also take the name of Muhammad `Amr Hamzawi, as in Muhammad Anwar Sadat (Sadat only use the name Muhammad in Arabic but not in English).
