Abdullah's investiture strengthens his hand to push forward with what have been the hallmarks of his unofficial rule -- limited steps toward reform and a crackdown on Islamic extremism and militants linked to al-Qaida.

 Abdullah Ibn Saba (Part I)
Abdullah Ibn Saba appeared during the Caliphate of Imam Ali (AS), and not during the rule of Uthman as Sayf alleged.
These mercenary writers believe that Abdullah Ibn Saba is the ORIGIN of Shia; and since he himself was a hypocrite and a falsifier of tales, then all the knowledge and beliefs of the Shia are also false.
At the same time, while Abdullah Ibn Saba was Ibn al-Sawda' to the inventor of the tale (Sayf), you find them becoming two separate persons around the 5th century, along with the variation in their news (see "al-Farq" by Abdul-Qahir Ibn Tahir al- Baghdadi).

 Al Qaeda warning by king of Jordan / Abdullah says his forces thwarted major bomb plot
Abdullah sharply criticized the "de-Baathification" campaign in Iraq, saying the decision by U.S. and Iraqi authorities to disband the 500,000-man Iraqi Army and to ban tens of thousands of members of the former ruling Baath Party from government jobs was counterproductive.
Abdullah said European anti-terrorism experts were aiding the Jordanian police investigation, but details were still sketchy -- including a solid identification of the type of explosive the suspects were carrying.
Abdullah said he had not been forewarned by Bush, an omission that would be widely considered a significant diplomatic snub to a major U.S. partner.

 Crown Prince Abdullah - Saudi Arabia's prince of peace. By Chris Suellentrop

Abdullah believes that a deal will increase his popularity among a grumbling Saudi population faced with 15 percent unemployment, plunging per capita GDP, and declining oil revenues.
The plan Abdullah floated to New York Times columnist Tom Friedman in February was initially dismissed by the Bush administration and much of the American foreign policy establishment.

 The Binding of King Abdullah
Abdullah met with reformers and accepted their petitions in January 2003, even telling them, "Your demands are my project." Abdullah also told the reformers, however, that he "could not do it alone." Although Abdullah did not fundamentally alter the regime's harmful policies, his statements sparked exaggerated hopes among Saudis.
Abdullah knows the Sudairi Six regard him as weak and naive, too lenient toward the captive population, and thus a danger to the absolute rule of the Saudi dynasty.
Two major considerations prompted Abdullah to reach out to the public: insistent pressure from the international community, especially the United States, for political reforms and guarantees of human rights, and the need to demonstrate to his royal foes that, if pushed too far, he could go over their heads to secure his position.

 The Man at the Center: Saudi Crown Prince 'Abdullah, January 25, 2002
Abdullah is known for his close relations with the tribes and his love of bedouin traditions; in 1985 he founded and continues to patronize the annual Jenadriyya National Heritage and Cultural Festival, which preserves traditional Saudi culture.
But ‘Abdullah has essentially been running the country — albeit not with a completely free hand — since early 1996, after Fahd had a stroke; initially the King transferred all powers, but after several weeks in which ‘Abdullah and the other senior princes apparently had a falling out, Fahd resumed some of his powers.
Like the King, however, ‘Abdullah is in his late 70s (officially born in 1924, he will be 78 this year by that reckoning); when Fahd finally leaves the scene ‘Abdullah may have only a short reign in his own right.

 Biography of a Companion (Sahaabah): Abdullah ibn Abbas
Abdullah was the son of Abbas, an uncle of the noble Prophet.
Abdullah described what he once did on hearing that a companion of the Prophet knew a hadith unknown to him: "I went to him during the time of the afternoon siesta and spread my cloak in front of his door.
In reply, Abdullah asked them that should he cite verses from the Quran and sayings of the Prophet to which they had no objection and which related to their criticisms, would they be prepared to change their position.

 Abdullah the Butcher
Abdullah would decimate an opponent and then when he was helpless on the canvas he would retreat to the furthest corner and like a mad rhino he would explode across the ring and leap in the air and crash onto his victim.
Abdullah started things off by snatching the cane away from his manager of the evening and pounding the poor idiot repeatedly over the head with it.
Of course, Abdullah was pretty much a terror throughout the wrestling world, but by the time I saw him in the Georgia area in the late eighties, he had pretty much mellowed out.
