 Abdullah Ibn Saba (Part I)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.
Abdullah Ibn Saba appeared during the Caliphate of Imam Ali (AS), and not during the rule of Uthman as Sayf alleged.
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).

 The Man at the Center: Saudi Crown Prince 'Abdullah, January 25, 2002
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.
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.
‘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.

 The Binding of King Abdullah
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
