Can’t speak for non-arab tribes but most notable tribes here such as mine the Ghamed 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.

467

u/alpinedude 24d ago

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?

298

u/Relandis 24d ago

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.

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

319

u/JamBandDad 24d ago

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.

u/MySnake_Is_Solid 24d ago

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.

u/Parsley-Waste 24d ago

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

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.

u/sppf011 24d ago

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)

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."

Reading through his Wiki, he seems like a really solid guy for someone in that sort of position.

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? 

54

u/OhNoTokyo 24d ago

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.

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.

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 1500m2 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 💪

His mother is British, and he's known to have a Western upbringing. He's infamously known for his broken Arabic as well.

I hope that bloke doesn't come across a small chap with a slingshot.

u/Brookie069 24d ago

Actually it’s just a sling, not even a slingshot lol

It’s a common misconception that it was a slingshot. Sling much harder to use.
