Also Sprach King Abdul on Diversity, Moderation, and a Jordanian Inquisition




Jordan is holding the first trials of its kind for Shi’a proselytizers . State Security Court in Jordan started the trial of six people holding Jordanian citizenship (does this mean they are Jordanians?) who are accused of inciting sectarian passions by encouraging the spread of Shi’ism......

A court source said that the accused denied all charges and pleaded “not guilty”. Court records of the charges show that the six are charged with trying to spread the Shi’a sect by encouraging others to convert.......


I recall that King Abdul de Jourdanie was accorded the undeserved honor of addressing a joint session of the United States Congress (it is indeed an honor if you subtract most Republican senators and congressmen, as well as a handful of Blue Dog Democrats).

During that 2007 speech, his little majesty opined that “Let me reaffirm that Jordan is committed to playing a positive role in the peace process. It is part of our larger commitment to global co-existence and progress. Ours is an Islamic country with a proud record of diversity, moderation, and shared respect……”
Diversity and respect indeed.


Thus behaves the police state of King Abdul de Jourdanie….a little king of a medium-sized member of the moderate police states of the New Middle East.
Cheers and Ramadan Kareem
