Arab Spring Comes to Jordan

“Beneath a statue of a glowering Saladin, the medieval Islamic warrior, a crowd unfurled banners and began chanting protests against the country’s leadership in its palaces and government offices far below the precipices of this ancient fortress town. ”

“We want social justice,” the crowd chanted after Friday Prayers on Jan. 27, reading from a handwritten list of political, economic and social grievances. “Real elections,” they shouted. “I’m a citizen, not a beggar.” – New York Times

King Abdullah II of Jordan who claims, always, to be a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad, runs a small country in the middle-east. A country untouched by the recent Islamic Awakening. But, that may not be the case any longer as protests begin, slowly and not as forcefully as in Cairo and Tunis.

Mr Abdullah’s wife, a westernized woman, who dresses in mini-skirts up to her knees, exposing her entire arm, is the queen of Jordan — looking at her it is hard to separate her from the unbelieving women of kufar.

These two, the monarchy, runs the country of Jordan, which is on the brink of revolution — a peaceful revolution. One which the protesters say the idea is to setup a British style monarchy with a constitution — good for the king and the queen.

This man, and his family as epitomized by his wife’s attire, represent the interest of the West under the guise of Islam. He may have the blood of the Apostle of Allah in his veins, but his nation lacks entirely any Islamic principle of governance. A man who cannot govern his wife is unfit to govern a nation.
