I completely disagree that this pensioner should be considered "royalty". First of all, there is no longer any "Sultanate of Aceh", it is today a province of Indonesia. Secondly, this person has no blood links whatsoever with the Acehnese dynasty that ruled the place prior to being dissolved by the Dutch in 1903.

[edit] 3 June additions

Having quickly read the reference provided, I am not yet convinced that this edit accurately represents the reference. Could you please copy here those parts of the text that you have used to give this...

Hasan di Tiro is famous for exhorting his followers to commit ethnic-cleansing against non-Acehnese inhabitants of the province. After leading a terrorist attack that killed two American engineers in 1977, di Tiro was hunted down by Indonesian soldiers. He was shot in the leg, and fled to Malaysia to avoid death.

Where for example does it mention American engineers? Or ethnic cleansing? Merbabu 13:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
