Who was Younis Saleh Bahri al-Juburi?

Younis Saleh Bahri al-Juburi (c. 1903 – 30 May 1979 ) was an Iraqi traveler, journalist, broadcaster, and writer. He was born in Mosul, Iraq, and was nicknamed "the sailor" for having graduated as a naval officer from a military school in Istanbul. In 1921, he continued his education in the Cavalry Military School in Munich, where he met Adolf Hitler. He is known for writing many books, and has traveled to several countries, and is said to have mastered over 17 languages.

The nature of his work and the multitude of professions he maintained made him a highly controversial figure. He took up numerous lines of work, most notably during his time in India, where he was a monk by day and a dancer by night. While there, he still managed to find time to work as a reporter for an Indian newspaper. He was also a Mufti in Indonesia, an editor-in-chief for a newspaper in Java, an Imam in Paris, and an advisor to king Idris of Libya, and was therefore known as "the Legend of the Earth".

Yunis Bahri is said to have married more than 100 women and divorced often because of his many travels.

He had more than one hundred children, and this was mentioned by one of his companions in the Council attended by King Faisal I when the king congratulated him on the birth of his sixtieth son.
