After the Algerian brothers succeeded in recovering the remains of 24 of their heroes, from the Museum of Man in Paris, and burying them in a manner befitting them and their heroism in resisting the French occupation, the motive that encouraged the Egyptian engineer Ihssan Muharram to launch a local and international campaign to recover the head and remains of the Arab hero Suleiman Halabi from the same The "human" museum, which the engineer Ihsan called "the museum of shame".

"I am not an archaeologist or excavator, but I felt sad and jealous when I saw the head of a hero of our Arab-Muslim heroes placed in a glass box and written under it a criminal", said Ihsan Muharram.

 Muharram said "that the burning by the French authorities of the right arm of Suleiman al-Halabi and the method of  his execution therein violated the law and human rights at that time and the present time".

Muharram added that the museum also contained the remains of Sarah Bartman, who arrived in Europe on false allegations by a British doctor, presenting them in “strange display programs” in London and Paris, while inviting the crowds to see a “strange person” with large buttocks. Sarah Bartman died on December 29, 1815, but her journey of torment did not end with her death. Even after her death, her body was insulted, as her body was dissected by the scientist Cuvier, who removed her brain and some sensitive parts from her, and kept her in formalin, then preserved her skeleton. To make a plaster mold of it, as a "strange person" to entertain the attendees even after her death, and to display it in the Museum of Man in Paris.

Until "Nelson Mandela" came as president of South Africa, and asked France to return the remains and remains of "Sarah Bartman" and the plaster that the doctor "Cuvier" had made with her body, to South Africa.

Ultimately the French government agreed in 2002. Her remains were buried in her village of birth, covered with the South African flag, 192 years after she left for Europe and 187 years after her death.

Muharram affirmed that he is fully prepared to bear all the expenses of returning the head of the hero Suleiman al-Halabi and that he will continue to search for the remains of the rest of the great Arab and Muslim heroes. He will not hesitate to take them all back.
