Brief background and introduction
The Bedou originally were the union of the many Bedouin tribes who after centuries in the Arabian and African deserts united and moved abroad to escape the ever growing turmoil of the Middle East. This first "Joining Of Tribes" occured 1918 under the Sultan Al Deeb Mohammed ibn Ahmed(1871-1964). It was the goal of the Sultan that the unified tribes would one day be large and strong(economically, a common error was that the Sultan was seeking military strength) enough to return the tribes(now invogorated with their worldly knowledge and accumulated wealth, to retake the Islamic homelands and reform Islam. The Sultan Mohammed Al Deeb ibn Ahmed is credited with forseeing the the hardline fundamentalist backlash from the ever growing power in the West which in his time had not yet posed the threat it poses today to the survival of Islam. With the death of Sultan Mohammed I, his eldest son Mohammed bin Al Deeb(1942-present) took control of the Bedou peoples(as the tribes under one union had taken to calling itself) he mandated reading and writting be compulsory. He mandated a health care system and implemented the cycling work system which allowed the Bedou to maintain their nomadic lifestyles while building infrastruction previously thought unattainable to Nomadic people.He founded the first Wadi-Rum school of Islam in 1972.
Under Sultan Mohammed II, the Bedou have attracted Muslims from all cultures throughout the world to join their flock of fundamental beliefs with the practice of ancient harsh nomadic lifestyle and the mixing of 21st century technology.
All leaders are known to have eccentricities, the Bedou Sultans are no different. Sultan Mohammed I(Sultan Mohammed Al Deeb ibn Ahmed) is said to have had such an affinity for snakes that he kept in his tents and on his horses(an amazing feet in and of itself) snakes of all variety. Sultan Mohammed the First is said to never have kept guards around his tents-no man would dare near them for the hundreds of deadly snakes collected with in.
Sultan Mohammed II(Sultan Mohammed bin Al Deeb) was not a collector of such an odd item as serpents, he is however one the most famous living collectors of firearms today. According to Loyd's of London Sultan Mohammed bin Al Deeb, is in posession of the most valuable and extensive collection of revolvers in the world. The collection is comprised of thousands of guns, and hundreds of firsts or seconds. The Sultan is alleged to have an original of every Soviet/Russian handgun ever made from the first year of production in every model. That fact alone, makes it a formidable collection. The addition of several more is what makes the Loyds report so believable.
