The House of Saud (Arabic: آ٠سعÙد translit: Al-Sa‘Å«d) is the royal family of Saudi Arabia. While the modern nation of Saudi Arabia was established in 1932, the House of Saud has been around for much longer. Prior to Ibn Saud, this family ruled the Nejd and often came into conflict with the Ottoman Empire and the Rashidis. The House of Saud is also linked with so-called Wahhabism (Saudis deprecate the term) through the marriage of the son of Muhammad ibn Saud with the daughter of Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab in 1744.
The history of the House of Saud has been marked by a desire to unify the Arabian Peninsula and to spread what it claims to be a "more pure and simple" but also controversial view of Islam embodied by Wahhabism (a term used by outsiders; adherents preferred the term Ikhwan, or Brethren, and of late, use Salafi). As such, the House of Saud has gone through three phases: the First Saudi State, the Second Saudi State, and the modern nation of Saudi Arabia.
"The royal family today is made up of an estimated 25,000 members, of whom around 200 are princes wielding influence." [

The person who founded the Sudi dynasty was a Ibn Bin Saud - Hence the Saudi in Saudi Arabia.
Prior to WW1, the Arab land were controlled & ruled by the Turks. The Turks were overthrown by revolts led by the Allies (namely Britain), of whom the most famous character would be Thomas Edward Lawrence, better known as lawrence of Arabia.
Upon the overthrow of Turkish rule, the Arabs fought amongst one another for control of the Middle East & Saud's clan won the fight for Saudi Arabia. This fighting as well as European interference resulted in the many Arab countries today.

The Saudi Dynasty is relatively recent having been created in the early part of the last century (20th). I doubt seriously they or anyone can truly trace their obscure origins as far back as the 9th century. Like many royal dynasties have done thru-out the ages, the Saudis indulged in a bit of creative geneology. The article is extremely biased and should be taken with more than just a grain of salt - perhaps several shovel fulls.

So, what? Jesus was a Jew. The Apostles were Jews.
So what? Who are you? Why should we read and pay attention to you? What's that chip you're carrying on your shoulder? Is it a buffalo chip?

Do you know how many ancestors you had alive back then? Do the maths... 2x2x2x2x2x2x2xetc. Nearly any person on the planet with any middle-eastern, european, african or asian ancestry would have had some jewish ancestors back then.
As if that anti-semitic clap-trap link means anything anyway...

I think it's pretty obvious that you are obsessed with Jews.
