“Not “mixed,” but different!”

Very general description. Care to be specific? Why you think they are ‘different’? :)

No secret the house of saud is relatively a newcomer, installed by the Brits early on in the 20th century.

Arabia, minus Saudi, had different geographical boundaries & included today’s Jordan as well & their bedouins invaded lot of land, mixed their genes thru forced or otherwise marriages.

Just Prior to (saudi arabia) arabia was mostly under the control of Turkish Ottoman Empire. That much is history. Oh, i also realize the Saudi connection to certain kingdoms in the Persian Gulf.

That said i’m intrigued by your almost cryptic remarks about saudi royals being ‘different’ in the shape of their face & skin color to the general population!

Sauds are Bedouin: the long, thin, hooked nose is the genetic marker.

So, I am curious do we know whether Obamas ancestors/family in Kenya are Shiite or Sunni?

Thanks an fair question.

I would also be inclined to think that 0bama’s “Step Father”, the Indonesian, along with the Islamic school 0bama attended may have played a role here.

Lol, if you put this - “ Obamas ancestors/family in Kenya are Shiite or Sunni? - you will see some answers plus you will see portions of our comments too!!

Sunni seems to be the most probable.

It does take a long while to identify the people off to the side of various events and meetings. ...but you learn to “look” beyond the handshakers to see who else is there once you can identify them.

Problem is so often the ones with the money and supporting are rare to be seen in general as they work behind the scenes. Sometimes it pays to check the names listed to discover just who they really are.

Bill Gates is a Globalist Absolute... he has many nations he's piling money and investments into as well as securing agreements to further his agenda’s and Africa is a big one for him for technology and to use those revenues from the Gates Foundation...... Africa ‘is’ the “popular” thing right now for redistributing revenue... for companies in order to secure their resources......As we noted BO is fully on that bandwagon, but he didn't begin that drive toward....there's others above him who are pushing that.

Egypt; Arab Spring initially hailed as progress, the power vacuum brought in the muslim brotherhood (welcomed by 0bama), now controlled by a western educated military leader and is seemingly stable?

Speaking of non-Brits who attended Sandhurst, there are some ME countries on this list, which is probably not 100% complete...

Interesting list. The M.E. would have probably been a more tolerable region today if the world had not tried to modernize it. The Pearls and Swine thing. No need giving them what they would not appreciate. The last six years things have really come unraveled.

Our number one mistake was when Ford, Carter and even Reagan signed EO's forbidding covert assassinations of foreign so called heads of state which began the road to state sponsored terrorism. The number of terrorist acts rose substantially afterward. Our Constitution allows for it but telling the world Go Ahead we won't kill you was a huge mistake.

His brother Salman is next in line, a spry young 79-year-old, with only 40 sons or so. Give him time. He’ll catch up, if he still remembers how.

Yes, i covered the bedouin part few posts back here too. Most of them, incl. general population ie orginial inhabitants of (saudi) arabia are various bedouin tribes & clans. The bedouin part also extends to countries like Jordan. But saudi arabia’s general population which the other poster was referring to in terms of their darker skin color & thinner ‘shape of face’ (not nose) are not all bedouins. They’re often mixed.

But “royalty” expects to be treated that way.

It cuts both ways. What if one day you find yourself needing something from them? That’s the point.

If my statement is true it doesn’t mean they are superior. It just means that they expect decorum to be followed. At least when the pictures are taken.

Barack the idiot Hussein Obama has time for the terrorist king’s funeral but no time to meet the Israeli PM. Shows which side he’s on.
