birth place?
There are a couple sources saying that Mukhtar was born in Mecca 1, 2, while there are other sources such as this that say he was born in Mogadishu. So which one is it? Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 16:23, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Mukhtar Ali's Somali background
There are constant attempts by Saudi chauvinists to deny his Somali background in this article. Nobody denies Mukhtar's right to play for whatever national teams he has opted for, including his ancestral Somalia (alongside Saudi Arabia and England) and it was his choice to opt for Saudi Arabia. But denying his ethnicity clearly demonstrate racism. HiddenFace101 (talk) 07:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
