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

You don't have a point. Even Switzerland has engaged in the occasional war.

You seem to have a black or white view of the world, much like ISIS. From that viewpoint one sees himself as subjugated or as the subjugator. There is no middle ground, and certainly no compromise.

The subjugated must throw off the shackles of the oppressor. All who would oppress must be eliminated. Except for the new oppressor, of course. They must subjugate others to sustain their "correct" view of the world.

Islam subjugates half of the population of Muslims. Actually, amongst the great number of fundamentalists, such as ISIS, half of the population are abused, assigned to a status beneath that of men and children.

Women are little more than vessels for birthing children, tools used for the convenience of men. Demeaned by being neutered from sexual pleasure and shamed for their appearance and covered up.

Ignorance? Do you really want to go there? Islam is every bit as barbaric, more so in its treatment of women, as Christianity was until modern times. A religion that is founded on the whims of a womanizer and pedophile and, to this day, murders innocents within and outside of its sphere of influence defines spiritual ignorance.

Um, Saudi Arabia is Sunni Muslim. Women are not allowed to drive and must cover up. They also can't vote and must get permission from a male relative to go anywhere. A beacon for democracy? Only in your twisted words.

The Saudis can, however, deal with people outside their religious state. To compare them to ISIS is stupid bullshite.

ISIS is like a zit on the face of humanity. We know that, to get rid of the zit completely, we have to first pop it and then use a cleanser that will get rid of the remaining bacteria. Else the zit will come back and even spread to other areas of the face. We are in the process of popping the ISIS zit.

Here you go American Hero. You can show ISIS how big your balls are. No reason to wait on a new president when you can go now. That is...if you feel really passionate about this cause and all.
