    On the record

    The Arabic article's infobox gives Khazri's religion as Islam, in general terms; the English article says nothing about his religion at all, and Wikidata carries no religion value. One infobox alone cannot settle an affiliation, so the record stands at unknown, with the Arabic reading preserved in the data file. 1 2 3
