Yes it is. Foad Haddaad was an Egyptian christian from a very wealthy
family. He converted to Islam, and married a simple girl. His family
abandoned him. Like fairy tales! His poems are all folkloric, political, and
very revolutionary!

>Is "Haddad" a good Christian Arab family name?

I think it depends on where you live. I knew Christian Haddads in
Jordan, but some West Bank Haddads are Muslim.

Cheers,
