According to [[King Abdullah II]] of [[Jordan]]'s [[Facebook]] page,

Hussein bin Ali, after losing Damascus to France and Baghdad to England, retreated to Mecca and declared himself [[Caliph]]. (The Ottoman caliphate was abolished by the Turkish Grand National Assembly in March 1924).<ref>http://www.ibnsaud.info/main/3128.htm</ref> Ibn Saud however refused to acquiesce to new Caliph, invaded Mecca, annexed the [[Hejaz]], and united the Arabian peninsula (Yemen excepted) under Saudi tutelage. The Hashemites were awarded the boobey prize of the land of [[Moab] (which God has eternally cursed in Hebrew, Christian, and Muslim scripture<ref>[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+48&version=NASB Jeremiah Ch. 48]</ref>), renamed [[Jordan|Transjordan]].<ref>Sovereign Creations: Pan-Arabism and Political Order in Syria and Iraq, Malik Mufti, Cornell University Press, 1996, [https://books.google.com/books?id=px20DEwGH6cC&pg=PA19&lpg=PA19&dq=Custodians+of+the+Two+Shrine%2Bhashemite&source=bl&ots=dQSTHtKYcX&sig=Ge3At60ixvoCfF9_r3ncA-PZbaI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LIvWVJjDLoq1oQSi_ICQAg&ved=0CDQQ6AEwBDgU#v=onepage&q=Custodians%20of%20the%20Two%20Shrine%2Bhashemite&f=false pp.19-21].</ref> The borders were drawn by Sir [[Winston Churchill]].<ref>Emirate_of_Transjordan#Establishment_of_British_control.</ref>
So the Hashemite family for hundreds of years were Custodians of the Holy Places until they made the mistake of accepting promises from the British Foreign Office. This has left residual resentment and mistrust throughout the Arab and Muslim world and accusations of Western interference in the affairs of Islam. The common name "Hussein" in the Arab and Muslim world are families whose tribes had at one time sworn allegiance to the Hashemites throughout the Ayyubid, Mamluk, and Ottoman Caliphates.
