Much good could it have done to him.....
King Abdullah I of Jordan ( see picture above) was shot in 1951 while visiting the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
Well, by that time the Sofers have already moved to Israel, otherwise they would have blocked the bullets with their Wu Shu magic
His grandson, Hussein, was saved on that day by a medal on his chest: it deflected the bullet. After that, he became a King and hired the Circassians. Shashkas will beat Kung Fu any time.
