"Tefe, Peggy MC, about King Abdullah II"


 
"Dear Fellow Dove;
 
     Very interesting about King Abdullah and born in 1962! Interesting that he is 'King' of the Hashemites -- which when parsed out could be Ha Shem(ites) -- the phrase Jews for the "name of God" -- such as Baruch HaShem -- Blessed be 'the Name'!. If this guy can show a 'partial Jewish pedigree', especially if tied to the tribe of Dan,,,, "a lion leaps out of Bashan', which includes Jordan. He certainly seems to have the scriptural credentials.  Very interesting.
TEFE  Thank you for "connecting the dots"

He is the 43 descendant of the prophet Mohammed.  His website claims descendancy directly through Ishmael and then to Abraham.  Interestingly, his mother is of Jewish descendancy.

I tried to "tie him" into a connection with the tribe of Dan also.

The best that I could do was a Jewish Genealogist who noted that the tribe of Dan settled "across the Jordan" and the descendants of Ishmael intermarried until eventually the two became synonomous.
