wow. being unfamiliar with you, UpTight, i thought that maybe you were simply possessed of a strong opinion. i can respect a strong opinion, even if i disagree with it. but that's not actually what drives you. you post here, clearly, for the sole purpose of attempting to get under peoples' skin. not for any real reason--not to change their mind or get them to question their beliefs, not to spark any new lines of thought. you do it because it makes you laugh to make people angry, when the only response they can offer is words. you are, in simple terms, a petty thug.
any attempt to convince you to 'go away'--to leave people alone, to stop making antagonistic posts just to be antagonistic--will only serve to attract you, since that sort of response is exactly what you crave. i don't know how others on these boards deal with you, and i don't particularly care how you deal with them, but since i find it unlikely that you'll ever post anything of value or interest to me, i think i'll just stop dealing with you altogether.

Abdullah I bin al-Hussein was born in the second Saudi state. The current Saudi state is the third. Saying the Royal Family of Jordon was originally from Saudi Arabia is factually correct. I also think it is important for people to know that the rules of Jordan have no historic claim to the area and were put into power because of their loyalty to the British. The rulers of Jordon have been more Western leaning but i don't know if you can attribute that specifically to their religion.
Jordan's royal family were very pro-British for a long time; largely (IIUC) because Allenby (and Lawrence) freed them from the Ottoman Empire in the First World War and its aftermath. It's not a religious thing for them AFAIK.
