It's truly amazing how these nuts have their first priority of destroying Israel instead of trying to bring their own people into the modern world and not act like savages from hundreds and hundreds of years ago. While the Israeli research institutes are busy trying to discover new ways to help all of mankind, all these nuts want to do is murder and destroy.
Salafi militant says Jordan not immune to jihadis
Al-Qaeda linked Mohammed al-Shalabi also says fighting to remove Israel is a priority
BY MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH July 4, 2014
Mohammed al-Shalabi, a senior leader of ultraconservative Muslims known as Salafis in Jordan, told The Associated Press that the fighting between rival militant factions in Syria has already undermined the battle against President Bashar Assad.
Al-Shalabi, who spent 11 years in Jordanian jails on charges including plotting to attack a US military base in the kingdom, said Jordanian Salafis have stopped sending their supporters to join the rebel ranks in Syria, fearing they will end up fighting other Muslims. More than 1,600 Jordanian have fought in Syria and 250 of them have been killed, al-Shalabi said.
Al-Shalabi spoke in a rare interview with a Western media organization at his home on the outskirts of the southern city of Maan, an impoverished area that has seen protests by supporters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) that has seized large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria and announced it has established a long-sought Muslim caliphate. The announcement has been rejected and even derided by many of the rival Islamic rebel factions fighting in Syria.
Al-Shalabi urged Jordan a US ally that relies heavily on donations from the US and oil-rich Gulf Arabs to keep its fragile economy afloat to implement Islamic Shariah laws and more balanced economic and social policies.
Jordan is not immune to what is happening in neighboring countries, he said.
Despite facing protests amid the Arab Spring wave of revolutions in the region, King Abdullah has remained in power by promising to speed up reforms he initiated since he ascended to the throne in 1999. Although Jordans multiparty system was revived in 1991, following a 34-year ban after a 1957 leftist coup attempt, opposition parties have yet to gain real power. They say they are intimidated by tight scrutiny and security crackdowns.
