Born to an Egyptian family of physicians in Edinburgh, Scotland, he grew up in Kuwait, escaping the Iraqi invasion and the 1991 Persian Gulf War. At the age of 16, he moved to Canada where he earned his degree in Social Anthropology and Biology from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He later earned a masters in Communications from Purdue University Calumet in Hammond, Indiana.
He proposes the concept of "contextual objectivity" as a critique of media's coverage of war. [citation needed] He writes a regular column for Egyptian independent newspaper Almasry Alyoum, and works at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University.[5]
