Her name sounds Albanian. Anybody know why?Ferick 15:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe she got married. --VKokielov 02:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. I'm stupid. --VKokielov 17:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Hala and Basha are highly prevalent names among people with muslim and/or middle eastern, muslim balkan ancestry. --88.224.142.184 22:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Gorani is almost certainly a muslim: aside from her aknowleged syrian ancestry, she covered the Hajj for CNN, and only muslims are allowed to enter Mecca. But when I try to put that in the main article it is reverted.

Yes she is Syrian descendant, more particularly from Aleppo. Her Arabic is not fluent. I heard this in an radio interview with her last week, she was here in Dubai in a mission to cover the DIFF (Dubai International Film Festival)

[edit] Religion

Anyone know what her religion is? --Adriaan90 14:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

She covered the hajj for CNN, and only muslims can enter Mecca. That says it all.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Andres68 (talk • contribs).

She could have only said that she was a muslim just to enter. That doesn't really prove that she is muslim. Also, you can cover the hajj without ever leaving the CNN office in London, or whatever. I see your point, but it's not sufficient evidence. --Adriaan90 04:45, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

She covered the hajj from Saudi Arabia; here's the link: http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0302/08/cst.13.html However, I agree that she has been reluctant to discuss her faith. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Andres68 (talk • contribs).

God gracious, wouldn't you be? --VKokielov 02:43, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
