Larry Nassar Early Life

Someone who can find valid references should add a paragraph about his parents, religious affiliation, upbringing, where he was born and his life prior to high school. See for example the page on Mae West or any typical biographical page. Botendaddy 04:34, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would be very interesting facts!

At the bottom of the page, he's identified as a "Roman Catholic". Though "Nassar" does not sound like a last name traditionally associated with Roman Catholicism. Given his last name and the fact that that he's from Michigan, I imagine Wikipedia should add a link to "Arab American Doctors," which wiki no doubt would have were he famous for doing something great. But, hey, that's wikipedia and these biases are to be expected.

The name Nassar can be found among Arab Christians. It is from the Arabic word "Nasr" meaning Help, and reportedly when Jesus asked "Who will help me?" his companions said "We will be your helpers", hence his companions were called Nassara (helpers). Similar name Ansara is a common name among Lebanese Christians e.g. Hollywood actor Michael Ansara. Hassanfarooqi (talk) 19:08, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
