Abbasid Dynasty

The dynasty of caliphs who governed the Islamic Empire from 750 until 1258 CE.

The Abbasid Dynasty was founded on two disaffected Islamic populations: non-Arabic Muslims and Shi'ites. For the most part, the Islamic impetus to the Abassid revolution lay in the secularism of the Umayyad caliphs. The Umayyads had always been outsiders—as a wealthy clan in Mecca, they had opposed Muhammad—and the secularism and sometime degeneracy that accompanied their caliphate delegitimized their rule for many devout Muslims. The Abassids took their name from al-'Abbas, a paternal uncle of Muhammad and early supporter of the Prophet. Their close kinship to Muhammad and the position of al-'Abbas as a Companion of the Prophet served them well in gaining support. As early as 718 AD, during the reign of Umar II, Muhammad ibn 'Ali, a great-grandson of al-'Abbas, began to proselytize in Persia to rally support for returning the caliphate to the family of the Prophet, the Hashimites.

Minge Dynasty

Refers to tyrannical reign of large, roaming lesbians during the Mufftacious Period. These hirsute Clitadons spent their days trawling for gash and listening to Indigo Girls until they were wiped out by a tidal wave of spangle that presaged the Scrotaceous Period and the rise of the Masturdon.

Do you smell halibut? It's a regular Minge Dynasty in here.

Dick Dynasty

When a guy grows pubes so long and bushy that his penis resembles one of the cast of Duck Dynasty.

He hadn't trimmed his pubes in at least a month, so when I went down on him, I didn't know if I was looking at Uncle Si or his Dick Dynasty!

Dynasty Sport

The greatest car ever made. A Maroon 1990 Dodge Dynasty that as "customized" by Chris Burns and Woody Fentress in the summer of 2000. It's trademarks were the fake shiny $19.99 Trak Auto Rims, the many dents on the bumpers from friends recklessly driving it, and of course the larger than life red decal letters on the back that christened its name. It unfortunately was wrecked, but went out in a blaze of glory on I-695N.

Umayyad Dynasty

The caliphs resident in Damascus from 661 to 750 CE.

The Umayyad Dynasty was the first Muslim dynasty. The Umayyad house was one of the major clans of the Quraysh tribe. Technically, Uthman, the third "Righteous Caliph", was the first Umayyad caliph. During his tenure (644-655), he appointed members of his clan to various posts; in particular, Muawiya b. Abi Sufyan was given the governorship of Syria. Upon the accession of Ali to the caliphate, Muawiya refused to pay him allegience, and in 658 the Syrians acknowledged Muawiya as caliph. That same year he gained control of Egypt; following Ali's death in 661, he subdued Iraq and then formally established himself as caliph. The first line of Umayyads were the Sufyanids (descendants of Abu Sufyan) who ruled from 661- 684. Under Muawiya (661-680) the capital of the Muslim empire was transferred to Damascus. He is credited with raising a highly-trained army of Syrian soldiers which was used to expand Muslim authority east into Khorasan and west into North Africa. Muawiya also led excursions into Anatolia beginning in 672 which culminated in an unsuccessful three-year seige of Constantinople (674-677). He retained the administrative structures left by the Byzantines and Persians but consolidated his authority by appointing kinsmen to key posts. Before his death, Muawiya secured allegiance to his son, Yazid, thus introducing dynastic succession to Muslim rule.
