Early life
Abdullah I of Al-Khilafah and V of Jordan grew up in the Jordanian Royal family and was raised as a Maliki Sunni Muslim. He went to private schools (starting with The British School-Al Khubhairat), before going to Princeton University.
Millitary service
In 2082, he joined the Royal Jordanian Army and in 2090, he lead a special forces company that captured seven terrorists, leading him to be compared to his great-great grandfather Abdullah II. He served in the Royal Jordanian Army for 19 years, leaving in 2101, at the rank of Aqid (Colonel) to become King of Jordan. He was considered extremely skilled especially in strategies and tactics linked to special operations and was well-respected but by subordinates and superiors within the military. Political views
His ideology is largely that of the Traditionalist Party (Islamism, Islamic nationalism, Traditionalist school, noocracy, religious tolerance, anti-racism, environmentalism, anti-communism, Futtuwah, Islamic monarchism, paternalistic conservatism, pro-entrepreneurialism, craft unionism and Islamic economics).
One point of difference from most party members is his personal opposition to alcohol prohibition, believe it encourages organised crime groups to sell alcohol to non-Muslims and to non-practising Muslims.
Religious views
The Caliph is a Sunni Muslim and, according to most commentators, devout. He is a Maliki like his family, and, according to teachers at schools and universities he attended, an Ash'ari.
Controversy
He is controversial amongst foreigners, liberals and leftists for the existence of unfree labour in his country. He is also controversial amongst conservative Muslims for his national laws allowing early-stage abortion (before 18 weeks) and the fact that homosexuality is legal in Jordan.
