M.T. Mehdi
Mohammed (sometimes spelled "Mohammad") Taki Mehdi, commonly M.T. Mehdi (January 6, 1928 - February 23, 1998) was an Iraqi-American based in New York. He was highly visible in media circles for being one of the earliest pro-Palestinian activists in the United States, and garnered controversy for his often brash defense of the Palestinian cause. He held debates on television and radio with many supporters of Israel, including the late Rabbi Meir Kahane. He died of cardiac arrest at Bellevue Hospital in 1998.
== Life ==
Dr. M.T. Mehdi was born in Karbala Iraq (then in the British Mandate of Mesopotamia) in 1928. He came to the United States to study at the University of California at Berkeley and achieved a doctorate in Political Science. He sued, successfully, the New York City Board of Education, requiring it to display Islamic crescents along with Christian and Jewish symbols during the holiday season. Out of his three daughters, Anisa Mehdi is the most prominent as an award-winning documentary filmmaker.
M.T. Mehdi founded the Action Committee on American-Arab Relations, and interviewed Sirhan Sirhan several times during Sirhan's imprisonment, at which time M.T. Mehdi was the president of the American-Arab Relations Committee.
