Arabic script added.
- "His given name is Kulaib, but he changed it (Before being appointed as governor) to Al-Hajjaj which means in Arabic The Bone Crusher."
Doesn't hajjaj mean something like 'pilgrim'? Isn't it from the same root as hajj, hajji, and muhajir? In any case, I seriously doubt it means "the Bone Crusher". —Charles P. (Mirv) 17:39, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Shi'a view
It's nice to have a Shi'a perspective on the legacy of al-Hajjaj, but isn't an inordinate amount of space dedicated to quoting a book with more of a polemical than scholarly purpose?
