Sayid's father was a soldier in the Iraqi Republican Guard.
Sayid's father ordered a young Omer to kill a chicken in order to prove his maturity. When Sayid killed the chicken in Omer's place, the father scorned Omer and commended Sayid. ("Lui è il nostro 'te'")
Tariq told Sayid that his father would be ashamed if he knew that Sayid was helping the Americans, describing him as a "great hero". ("Uno degli altri")
