Mohammed Zaganada

Mohammed Zaganada (Arabic: محمد زاكانادا‎) is the mullah of the Islamic Federation.

Personal life
Born in the former nation-sate of Kenya, Zaganada was educated in the University of Riyadh. He is married with four children, but has also been romantically linked to Indian holovid actress Srisha Nehru. These claims are dismissed by him as slander by the infidel press.

Relationship with other world leaders
The HIF trades freely with the other Economic Combines, but regards them as infidels. Zaganada lets his Combine vacillate between cautious acceptance and a nearly war-like paranoia.

When Madeleine Clarke announced on 1 January 2143 that the North American Union would maintain sole ownership of Habitat Mars, an angry Zaganada called Clarke "The Great Satan".

However, on 25 November 2143, following the terrorist attack on the World Series, Zaganada travelled via the Virtual Reality Net to visit Clarke in her hospital suite at the Kevorkian Medical Center in Chicago.

Background

 * Mohammed is a very common Arabic name. Zaganada is a made-up word, possibly from the Spanish zaga ("behind") and nada ("nothing"), seen in the phrase no le va a la zaga a nadie, "he is second to none".
