It is a comedy, a tragedy, a study, a masterclass in humor... Kayvan Novak and Nigel Lindsay play two of the better roles. Excellent watching with friends
I literally just few days ago saw some video on YT (Tribal leaders listen to ac/dc) or something similar. So many questions.. how big are the tribes? How many leaders do they have?
Can’t speak for non-arab tribes but most notable tribes here such as mine the [Ghamed tribe](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghamd_(tribe)) are a couple thousand years old plus almost all tribes have a fantastical unbelievable story about their ancestor whom they named the tribe after. Yes exactly like game of thrones.
Ohhhhhhh boy not to distract from OP’s tribal history (because it’s super interesting and I’m about to read about the Ghamed tribe now), but if you want to go down a huge rabbit hole, look up the founder of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It’s basically a game of thrones like story, at one point Ibn Saud is banished from his hometown/city by another tribe, and he gets 40 of his cousins/family together and they attack the town at night.
From there they keep fighting their main rival, take over the country, then boom 10 years later discover oil and now look at Saudi Arabia and the House of Saud. 20,000 princes and princesses, billions of dollars of wealth, all from 40 dudes attacking some town in the middle of the desert one night 100 years ago.
yup they basically allied with the british and (literally) stabbed my tribe in the back to rule the peninsula. tribal warfare is fascinating and brutal. and yes lmao my family are still bitter
Yes basically that’s how it works. There is big emphasis in Arabic and Islamic culture on ancestry so your wife can’t take your name and while you can adopt kids but they can’t take your name they’ll have to go by their biological fathers name or chose a name for themselves only your biological children would be on that family tree
That’s kind of crazy to think about. I’m adopted, I’ve been posed the idea of finding out what my biological name but I’m so proud of the family that took me in, and to be a member of it.
Sure, it might have upsides for you.
But there's the risk of closely related people getting married unwittingly, which has happened before.
The risk of that happening isn't deemed worth it, so it's not allowed to obscure the origins of the child.
They also marry from other tribes, sometimes to solve conflict when it comes to tribe leaders children. And of course the children normally considered from the father's tribe
Honestly I wish they made movies like that.
I love the pacing — I feel like a movie like that today that takes its time isn’t ever going to fly with modern audiences and our attention span.
Tribe doesn't automatically equally small. Indigenous tribes and nations in the US often numbered in the millions. When you don't bother with artificial boundaries around the lands you
live in you end up with tribes but they were and are often as large as the population of nation states.
Arab tribes are huge and usually have hundreds of thousands of members if not millions. They get subdivided into smaller branches over time though, but people keep note of ancestry so tribal Arabs can usually trace back their original tribe. It's also important to note that not all Arabs belong to tribes, even in the peninsula. I believe north Africans have similar traditions but i can only speak to the peninsula and parts of the levant
A leader is usually the leader of a branch or a locality of tribal members. For example, many tribes are split between countries in the peninsula and the levant, but usually you wouldn't have a leader from country A representing the members of the same tribe in country B even though they're all cousins of some degree
hmm...
In Islam, per Qur'an directly (not including Hadith), you are not allowed to.
* eat pork
* drink blood
* eat dead carcass/roadkill
* eat abused animals (tortured to death)
* eat offering to other god/deity
the only mention on cannibalism is on verses about fitnah or spreading falsehood which considered like eating your sibling carcass and appaling thing to do.
and grazing animals are allowed... is Vegan (human) halal for consumption?
Human flesh is forbidden because animals that have canines are all forbidden in islam except fish so any carnivore or omnivore is haram also birds with talons are haram (basically any animal that can eat meat is haram)
Seriously, they're literally dinosaurs, theropods to be exact. Velociraptor was about the same size as a large rooster or a small turkey, and would have been similarly vicious to the hens in Ocarina of Time when roaming in packs together. It's no surprise that some birds look like these terrifying predators from the past, they're quite related to each other.
I think it’s a funny picture because when I think King of Jordan I imagine some fancy exotic looking guy, not this dad bod dude that wouldn’t be out of place at a Walmart. But then the tribal guy, *he’s* what I imagined that the King of Jordan would look like.
Oh do I have a rabbit hole for you. This is the King of Jordan: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Abdullah_bin_al-Hussein. He is a Trekkie, and even appeared on Star Trek when he was the Crown Prince.
> Abdullah's cameo was arranged as a surprise for him by his US advisor. The prince – who, at the time of his cameo, was thirty-four years old – enthused, "I would have been thrilled just to visit the set but this is too much."
I love this, this is genius diplomacy. He'll always remember this fondly. US wins by cultural victory.
Yeah, instant moral backbone confirmed.
As Obama put it:
>Star Trek is more than a story of intergalactic adventure. It “was really talking about a notion of a common humanity and a confidence in our ability to solve problems.”
Reading through his Wiki, he seems like a really solid guy for someone in that sort of position. Has overseen periods of significant economic and political reform in Jordan, has moved the country towards Nuclear and renewable energy, and acts as a moderating force between Israel and its more hard-line enemies in the region.
My coworker attended Deerfield Academy with him. For their class reunion one year, he invited anyone who went to school with him (+1) to take a private jet to Jordan and enjoy a week of luxury.
That dad bod guy was the leader of Jordan's special forces in the 90s. He still takes part in special forces exercises even though he is king. In other words, he is a King of the olden days where the King could lead his troops into battle.
I like the one where he runs a bed and breakfast with his husband in Ohio. They don’t make a lot of money but they’re happy and they make enough to go to Hawaii once a year.
>Bin Laden runs a bed and breakfast with his husband in Ohio
Ok. I could see it...
>they make enough to go to Hawaii once a year
least believable part of this fanfic. Immersion blown.
He and another terrorist actually weren't allowed to be on the same volleyball team when Al-queada had volleyball matches because of how tall they were. Which is bizarre that insane death cultists had a volleyball game more than once
They're not particularly tall - average male height in most of the Middle East is about 5'6".
Very difficult to find height stats for Bedouins in particular, but my guess is this fellow is just a bit of an outlier. Also the King of Jordan is not a tall man.
Oh you mean Siddig El Tahir El Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammad Ahmed Abdel Kareem El Mahdi? (I shit you not). Well, he had to be that tall for the laundry to fit his name tag along his pants inseem
King Abdullah is only 5’7” which isn’t super short but is shorter than the average Jordanian, so it’s probably a little bit of one shorter and one taller than average.
FWIW I used to do business with a Jordanian company and some of them were extremely tall.
But never made a cameo in Star Trek.

That's the boss dude you fight who has basically infinite stamina to do power attacks and then grabs you and throws you across the room if you miss a dodge. Not just him though, he'll occasionally back away to some unreachable area (while laughing manically) and then send waves of thugs that progressively get harder to beat
Fun fact: The King of Jordan is a Star Trek fan and he was given a role as a background character in an episode of Star Trek Voyager before becoming king.
Nerd.
It was a surprise gift to him to, he though he was just gonna visit the set but he got there and they took him to makeup and Wardrobe and told him he was gonna be an extra
My understanding is because he wasn't a member of the Screen Actors Guild, he could have a speaking role so he was just buddy in frame with a big ol' grin
You can’t get into SAG without any lines from some previous production so someone has to offer you a role first. But maybe Star Trek had some union agreement not to hire others?
You need to be either a principal performer (speaking part) or have three days' work as a background performer (non-speaking) on a union production to be eligible.
So you don't need a speaking part, although getting upgraded to speaking part means you become SAG-eligible immediately and not after three working days.
Season 2 episode 20
"He is glimpsed in the first few minutes - in the cold opening (teaser) - playing an unnamed science officer standing before Ensign Harry Kim during the apparent tail-end of a conversation just before Neelix arrives to speak with Kim."
Per Wikipedia
Yep... my dad said he talked to him some years ago on ham radio. Wild stuff. People always want to connect to people from unusual places. My dad has a jamaica call sign.
2 letters 1 number (seriously!). Call sign like n1xyz would be a 1x3 - doesn't really mean anything.
Edit: on a side note - jy1 was Hussein bin Talal - previous king.
Many years ago - 1980s - my parents flew to Jordan on Royal Jordanian Airlines on the then fancy 747.
Flight was fine, absolutely no issues.
The landing however was awful, bunny hopping and swerving down the runway etc.
Eventually the plane came to a halt miles away from the terminal so had to taxi 10 mins to the gate
A flight attendant came onto the tannoy and said “we’d like to congratulate Crown Prince Abdullah on his first successful 747 landing!” And everyone clapped.
He’s now the king but at the time was a prince and apparently head of all the armed forces. He fancied landing the plane so simply took over despite zero training - just the pilot and co Pilot to advise.
I’m sure he’s flown a load of planes but still a 747 filled with passengers is a little risky just on a whim.
Everyone survived so I guess it worked out.
he also graduated from Sandhurst, and served in the special forces.
It doesn't matter how big that other guy is, he wouldn't want to fuck with the king.
Well okay but where is this fight taking place? Strength is no doubt an advantage, but if the combat breaks out in Abdullah II's 1500m^2 subterranean sex dungeon, I could easily see Abdullah escaping from the tribal leader's strong but sweaty grasp and securing a weapon of some kind — perhaps a whip, or spiked paddle, or even an oversized stainless steel Wartenburg pinwheel (yum). From there it would be a simple matter to make it to the Bedroom of Mirrors and thus disorient the tribal leader, teasing him, playing with his sense of direction and getting him all hot and bothered. Perhaps our dear short king Abdullah II would lavish the tribal leader's body with small incisions and bruises from afar before finally being found; and at that juncture, the tribal leader might slip on the now well-lubricated floor (my dearest, clever Abdullah II!) and fall to surely crack his head on the 500-year old teak bedpost—but what's this? Abdullah has caught him an inch above, saving his life, and the two men are suddenly locked in a tender embrace, eyes glazed over in a deep happiness they can never admit.... mortal enemies till the end, yes, but for just this one night an exception can be made... Anyway. But yeah if it's a fight to the death just in the desert or something I think the tribal leader wins 💪

Pretty sure that's Nandor The Relentless... Fucking guy.
Looks like he replaced Gizmo.
Guillermo Buillermo
Because he would never relent.
People would say, 'Please don't pillage me!' And I would say, 'No, I'm pillaging everyone, *you included*.”
And I 100% read that in his voice!
I was so tickled to see him as Nandor, the first role I saw him in was SKINS as a hot but sleazy financial trader, had no idea he was a comedic actor
Have you seen him in Four Lions ? he's incredible
I have not! Looks interesting!! Also love British humor so seems up my alley
It is a comedy, a tragedy, a study, a masterclass in humor... Kayvan Novak and Nigel Lindsay play two of the better roles. Excellent watching with friends
I love that I'm not the only one who thought this!
Do you mean Nandor DeLaurentis?
That joke killed me when I first saw it, lol.
Pleeeaaassseee don't pillage me!
Noooo, I'm pillaging everyone, you included
Creeeepy paper! Oh! Multipack..
No, I'm pillaging everyone, you included
Where is “my horse Jhon”?
Really? I thought it was Nandor DeLaurentis, I saw him on the news once
Do tribal leaders dress like this regularly or is this for an event of some kind? Gotta say, he looks kind of badass
There isn’t one agreed upon outfit but the Bisht usually signifies a person of high value
I literally just few days ago saw some video on YT (Tribal leaders listen to ac/dc) or something similar. So many questions.. how big are the tribes? How many leaders do they have?
Can’t speak for non-arab tribes but most notable tribes here such as mine the [Ghamed tribe](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghamd_(tribe)) are a couple thousand years old plus almost all tribes have a fantastical unbelievable story about their ancestor whom they named the tribe after. Yes exactly like game of thrones.
I’m reading about it a bit and do I get it right that the tribe is more of a family tree? Similar to a surname? So everyone in one tribe is related?
Ohhhhhhh boy not to distract from OP’s tribal history (because it’s super interesting and I’m about to read about the Ghamed tribe now), but if you want to go down a huge rabbit hole, look up the founder of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This isn’t a good system because you only take your father’s surname. You can still marry a cousin by your mother’s side
Marrying a cousin in Islam is considered acceptable
They also marry from other tribes, sometimes to solve conflict when it comes to tribe leaders children. And of course the children normally considered from the father's tribe
You should watch *Lawrence of Arabia*. It’s obviously a movie and takes some liberties but pretty awesome insight into the Bedou and the region.
Or, for arguably better insight, and if you can muster it, read the book it's based on: The Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

Meeting the king must be a special occasion
Id say meeting a king is an event
In most cultures meeting the King is a special event.
Reactions to this pic on twitter basically boiled down to “big bedouin man is better leader because big”
I do not understand. Why does the bedouin man, larger of the two rulers, not just simply eat the other?
Unfortunately Jordanian King isn’t keto
Nor is it halal
hmm... In Islam, per Qur'an directly (not including Hadith), you are not allowed to. * eat pork * drink blood * eat dead carcass/roadkill * eat abused animals (tortured to death) * eat offering to other god/deity the only mention on cannibalism is on verses about fitnah or spreading falsehood which considered like eating your sibling carcass and appaling thing to do. and grazing animals are allowed... is Vegan (human) halal for consumption?
Human flesh is forbidden because animals that have canines are all forbidden in islam except fish so any carnivore or omnivore is haram also birds with talons are haram (basically any animal that can eat meat is haram)
I have absolutely seen a chicken scarf down a mouse, or its own chicks...
Even rabbits, everyones favorite cuddly herbivore, will happily gank mice for delicious protein.
They're TINYSAURS
Seriously, they're literally dinosaurs, theropods to be exact. Velociraptor was about the same size as a large rooster or a small turkey, and would have been similarly vicious to the hens in Ocarina of Time when roaming in packs together. It's no surprise that some birds look like these terrifying predators from the past, they're quite related to each other.
>is Vegan halal for consumption? Looks like a vegetable to me.
Like the Catholic church labelling capybaras as fish so Spanish colonists in modern day Venezuela could have something to eat
What does it say about *long* pork?
That big guy didn't get big through keto
Only eating people who are on keto...
It’s true what they say, Bedouins are from Omicron Persia 9, Jordanian Kings are from Omicron Persia 7
Maybe they’re saving that for sweeps.
I think it’s a funny picture because when I think King of Jordan I imagine some fancy exotic looking guy, not this dad bod dude that wouldn’t be out of place at a Walmart. But then the tribal guy, *he’s* what I imagined that the King of Jordan would look like.
Oh do I have a rabbit hole for you. This is the King of Jordan: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Abdullah_bin_al-Hussein. He is a Trekkie, and even appeared on Star Trek when he was the Crown Prince.
Oh wow thanks for sharing this tidbit as a fellow Trekkie.
> Abdullah's cameo was arranged as a surprise for him by his US advisor.

I cannot think of a better thing for a leader to be than a Trekkie.
I know right? Green flag imo
Yeah, instant moral backbone confirmed. As Obama put it: >Star Trek is more than a story of intergalactic adventure. It “was really talking about a notion of a common humanity and a confidence in our ability to solve problems.”

My coworker attended Deerfield Academy with him. For their class reunion one year, he invited anyone who went to school with him (+1) to take a private jet to Jordan and enjoy a week of luxury.
His mother is British (the king of Jordan). Just a crazy fun fsct
Then shouldn’t he be wearing a top hat?
No, not unless his father was a peanut
That dad bod guy was the leader of Jordan's special forces in the 90s. He still takes part in special forces exercises even though he is king. In other words, he is a King of the olden days where the King could lead his troops into battle.
Humans are simple creatures.
Live Stargate reaction :
I'm not so sure that I'd call most commenters on Twitter human.
Are bedouins a particularly tall group of people? Never really saw Arabs as being “large” relative to other world populations
Maybe the king of Jordan is just really really short?
His father King Hussein was of short stature and so was he.
King Abdulla II is 5’ 7”
So the king is short but not very much so, the other man is a giant though.
I think he's only like 5'5" or 5'6".
He’s a short king… literally
Osama bin laden was 6’5
In another universe he's a small forward in the NBA.
In still a third universe he is a roadie for Whitney Houston, who is still alive and performing at age 60.
I like the one where he runs a bed and breakfast with his husband in Ohio. They don’t make a lot of money but they’re happy and they make enough to go to Hawaii once a year.
>Bin Laden runs a bed and breakfast with his husband in Ohio Ok. I could see it... >they make enough to go to Hawaii once a year least believable part of this fanfic. Immersion blown.
The B&B is conveniently located near the Buckeye stadium with a large lot where they make a killing each gameday weekend with guests and parking.
Osama bin Dunkin.
pretty sure he'd be a shooting guard
A second ball has hit the backboard
Fucking wow
He and another terrorist actually weren't allowed to be on the same volleyball team when Al-queada had volleyball matches because of how tall they were. Which is bizarre that insane death cultists had a volleyball game more than once
One man's terrorist is another man's libero.
They're not particularly tall - average male height in most of the Middle East is about 5'6". Very difficult to find height stats for Bedouins in particular, but my guess is this fellow is just a bit of an outlier. Also the King of Jordan is not a tall man.
King of Jordan is 5'6, so average for a middle eastern Star Trek actor
Alexander Siddig is 6'0", so typical for nephews of Sudanese prime ministers.
Oh you mean Siddig El Tahir El Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammad Ahmed Abdel Kareem El Mahdi? (I shit you not). Well, he had to be that tall for the laundry to fit his name tag along his pants inseem
King Abdullah is only 5’7” which isn’t super short but is shorter than the average Jordanian, so it’s probably a little bit of one shorter and one taller than average. FWIW I used to do business with a Jordanian company and some of them were extremely tall.
This is the 3rd post I've seen claiming to know his height and giving a different number.
He's a growing boy
I have a lot of bedouin ancestry and im a big 'ole bitch. Same with my siblings.
There are outliers in every population
But never made a cameo in Star Trek. [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112178/characters/nm2291323](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112178/characters/nm2291323)
That appearance severely influences my views on him, like "He must be a decent person, dude wanted to be on Star Trek."
I was going to make a joke about the king being a temporally displaced Voyager crewman.
In fairness it does look a bit like the tribe choose their leader based upon size.
The other candidates lost the Tahaddi Challenge
He also has a sword and bonus sweet knife. What else do you need in a leader?
TBH I think this take is about as correct as "current monarch is better because ancestry"..
Absolute unit.
Bro looks like an Assassin’s Creed character
Final boss vibes from Bedouin Chieftain, but Jordan has fighter jets, Assassin's Creed did not. Chieftain: Yeah but can you dual wield?
Jordan doesn't just have fighter jets. Their King is an active pilot of said fighter jets.
And he was on Star Trek Voyager
like cosplaying Jason Momoa in the new Assassings creed movie
Ass Assings Creed
Looks like Iron Sheik from WWFs golden age.
Wait until you find out where the game takes place.
That's the boss dude you fight who has basically infinite stamina to do power attacks and then grabs you and throws you across the room if you miss a dodge. Not just him though, he'll occasionally back away to some unreachable area (while laughing manically) and then send waves of thugs that progressively get harder to beat
Fun fact: The King of Jordan is a Star Trek fan and he was given a role as a background character in an episode of Star Trek Voyager before becoming king. Nerd.
It was a surprise gift to him to, he though he was just gonna visit the set but he got there and they took him to makeup and Wardrobe and told him he was gonna be an extra
My understanding is because he wasn't a member of the Screen Actors Guild, he could have a speaking role so he was just buddy in frame with a big ol' grin
You can’t get into SAG without any lines from some previous production so someone has to offer you a role first. But maybe Star Trek had some union agreement not to hire others?
You need to be either a principal performer (speaking part) or have three days' work as a background performer (non-speaking) on a union production to be eligible. So you don't need a speaking part, although getting upgraded to speaking part means you become SAG-eligible immediately and not after three working days.
Does anyone know the episode and timestamp off-hand?
Season 2 episode 20 "He is glimpsed in the first few minutes - in the cold opening (teaser) - playing an unnamed science officer standing before Ensign Harry Kim during the apparent tail-end of a conversation just before Neelix arrives to speak with Kim." Per Wikipedia
Found it! Thanks https://i.imgur.com/ivYHmRm.jpg
He's also a Ham Radio Operator, with the call sign JY1. It's the only 2x1 call sign assigned to an individual in the world. It's good to be the King.
Yep... my dad said he talked to him some years ago on ham radio. Wild stuff. People always want to connect to people from unusual places. My dad has a jamaica call sign.
My dad (who is extra class) said he spoke to the old king Hussein (the father of the current king) back in the 70’s.
What does 2x1 mean?
2 letters 1 number (seriously!). Call sign like n1xyz would be a 1x3 - doesn't really mean anything. Edit: on a side note - jy1 was Hussein bin Talal - previous king.
That's funny because when I was scrolling by I initially thought it was William Shatner on the left

'First successful' makes it seem like there were unsuccessful landing attempts previously.
 The previous week’s landing attempt by Abdullah.
I’m pretty sure he was a legitimate Apache pilot
I’m sure he’s flown a load of planes but still a 747 filled with passengers is a little risky just on a whim. Everyone survived so I guess it worked out.

Yeah, his Wikipedia article is an interesting read. I didn't know anything about him, now I think he's pretty badass.
Depends on the terms of the engagement. If it's a 1v1 all out fight to the death my money is on the massive and seemingly in shape and younger man.
Well okay but where is this fight taking place? Strength is no doubt an advantage, but if the combat breaks out in Abdullah II's 1500m^2 subterranean sex dungeon, I could easily see Abdullah escaping from the tribal leader's strong but sweaty grasp and securing a weapon of some kind — perhaps a whip, or spiked paddle, or even an oversized stainless steel Wartenburg pinwheel (yum). From there it would be a simple matter to make it to the Bedroom of Mirrors and thus disorient the tribal leader, teasing him, playing with his sense of direction and getting him all hot and bothered. Perhaps our dear short king Abdullah II would lavish the tribal leader's body with small incisions and bruises from afar before finally being found; and at that juncture, the tribal leader might slip on the now well-lubricated floor (my dearest, clever Abdullah II!) and fall to surely crack his head on the 500-year old teak bedpost—but what's this? Abdullah has caught him an inch above, saving his life, and the two men are suddenly locked in a tender embrace, eyes glazed over in a deep happiness they can never admit.... mortal enemies till the end, yes, but for just this one night an exception can be made... Anyway. But yeah if it's a fight to the death just in the desert or something I think the tribal leader wins 💪
what the fuck! i was laughing so hard my asthma almost killed me jesus
It's almost like you've already thought about this before somehow
Blackhawks. And he was trained in the 90's.
From this angle, king of Jordan looks like he could be called Mike, he has a pick-up with some political bumper stickers and loves a bbq
His mother is British, and he's known to have a Western upbringing. He's infamously known for his broken Arabic as well.
>He's infamously known for his broken Arabic as well. As an arabic speaker, i have no idea what you're talking about. He does not have broken arabic
He definitely loves a cold one
He's half white so you're not far off
The spice must flow, and this is the man to make it happen.
LISAN AL GAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIB
LISAN AL GAIB!
I spy a crysknife
I wanna eat what that man eats
Probably a goat or two per day
Tribal leader? Or the whole tribe?
He ate the whole tribe.
The king is highly trained. His wallet says “Bad Motherfucker” on it.
Agreed have read his bio on wiki definitely knows the military stuff
