By ISIS maybe, but most Muslims see Jordan like Europeans see Switzerland - neutral. That Jordan is participating in the anti-ISIS campaign shows the gravity of the situation in the Middle East.
It's clear that ISIS leaders think they can divide and conquer in that region. They are hitting at anybody and everybody, Muslim or not, Arab or not. From our vantage point in the West, ISIS seems to be taking an all-or-nothing gamble that there are enough radicals who will join them in their bid to seize territory.
They seem, also, to think that the West and Middle East allies can't prevent that from happening. A bad strategy with only one outcome, IMO.

Im not sure if you speak lies or ignorance.

On May 1948, Jordan invaded Palestine together with other Arab states, and attacked Jewish Jerusalem.[25] Following the war, Jordan occupied the West Bank and on 24 April 1950 Jordan formally annexed these territories, an act that was regarded as illegal and void by the Arab League. The move formed part of Jordan’s "Greater Syria Plan" expansionist policy,[26] and in response, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Syria joined Egypt in demanding Jordan’s expulsion from the Arab League
