Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (11.09.05)
Can you feel the love yet?

Ron ,   France   (11.09.05)
U can ask Israel government this question since Israel is the main driving force for hateret and bloodshid in the region.
3. At it again
Fadi ,   FL, USA   (11.09.05)
The extremists are at it again, I wouldn't be surprised if more Jordanians died than foreigners. "The attacks carry the trademark of al-Qaeda", they need to drop this al-Qaeda crap already, it's getting old.
4. #1 Yishai, don't be an idiot!
Michael Steiner ,   Bratislava, EU   (11.09.05)
Muslims didn't do this; terrorists did. And these terrorists are no different from the likes of Goldstein or Zada(YSh"U). Religion is cynically used as the locomotor of hatred and hateful acts.

6. All wrong
Abdel ,   Nablus, palestine   (11.09.05)
Suicide bombings against civilinas are wrong!!! whether in iraq, jordan, or israel ... they are all wrong and un-islamic. my condolonces to the families of the victims.
7. 4 all muslims not terrorists but all terrorists are muslim
mike ,   usa   (11.09.05)
so, yes, muslims DID do it.
8. aaha,...
Yakir ,   Swiss   (11.09.05)
it's very strange that the statistics say, 95% of all terror attacks in the world are made by muslims... realy strange. who am i gonna believe now? to you? or the statistics? guess... abdel, it's always nice to hear that there are still some of you believe that it's false... but the facts are still diffrent... the islam has a very (a VERY) bad image all over the world... it's hated everywhere, i can tell you even from here in switzerland. If your name is something with muhamed or mustafa or even abdel, you dont get a job. Or nobody takes you serious... this is why you see the muslims here only in groups, because nobody likes to be their friends. I'm against this bullshit, and it's not racism or something like that... it's just human nature... my sugguestion, muslims have to act now... hunt the seperatist yourselves and make your religion "clean" again...
9. Yishai Kohen's Situation
Fadi ,   FL, USA   (11.10.05)
So Muslim extremists kill Muslims, and this person blames the Islamic faith. Aren't the victims followers of the Islamic faith? Why aren't they the bombers themselves? Why are they victims? This type of thinking by Yishai Kohen worries me a lot.
10. At The Radison
Fadi ,   FL, USA   (11.10.05)
My brother-in-law's family were in the Radison hotel in the wedding hall when the explosions took place. The groom's father died. The groom is unconcious. Some made it out alive. Many are missing.
11. The Radisson and Hyatt were both Palestinian-owned...
Josh ,   NYC   (11.10.05)
So much for taking up the Palestinian cause, eh?
12. Reuters News Report - Cycle of Violence Let to Attacks
Gideon Smart ,   London   (11.10.05)
By Suleiman al-Khalidi 23 minutes ago AMMAN (Reuters) - Three suspected freedom fighters blew themselves up at three Zionist affiliated hotels in Jordan's capital on Wednesday, killing at least 57 people and wounding more than 100 others, government officials and police said. The cause, according to Reuters and BBC correspondents present at the scene, is clearly related to the cycle of violence perpetrated by the Jordanian government against its Palestinian majority over the past thirty years. Said Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, "We condemn all attacks against innocent civilians, but, we understand the motivation that would lead oppressed souls to act in this manner in the eastern occupied territories. After all, the Hashemites committed atrocities during Black September, so it is not so difficult to understand why this cycle of violence continues. I urge the Jordanian government to show restraint in its response so that the cycle does not start anew." Abdul Mu'ti Abdulaziz Abu Mu'eliq, a member of the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad, who escaped arrest by Jordan last month, said from his sanctuary in Syria's presidential palace that "until Palestine east of the Jordan to the sea is in our hands, our struggle against the Hashemist Occupation Government will not end". There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but counterterrorism officials pointed the finger at al Qaeda and its leader in Iraq, Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, because of the apparently synchronized attacks -- the hallmark of the militant network. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan canceled plans to travel to Amman on Thursday due to abject fear. He had only chosen to visit Jordan after canceling a trip to Tehran due to abject fear. Mr. Annan maintained that he is innocent of all charges of accepting bribes in the oil for food scandal in Iraq that has been brushed under the carpet by his allies at the UN. He too, urged that the Jordanian government act with utmost restraint and make some concessions of land, perhaps the Aquaba resort area to start. Annan will be travelling on to the Dominican Republic to play a few rounds of golf after skipping a visit to war-torn Darfur due to abject fear.
13. To everyone posting here
Barak   (11.10.05)
People have died in these attacks. Someone has lost a father, a mother, a brother or sister. A little more respect for the dead instead of argueing about nonsense. Nobody, white, black, blue, brown, whatever, can justify targeting non-combatants intentonaly and deliberately in this way. Condolences to those who lost friends and family
14. Palestinian's Gift to the World
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.10.05)
It used to be only Israel and the Jews who were indiscriminately blown to pieces by the followers of allah The Palestinians were the first to craft this evil destruction.. Now it has spread to Iraq,Indonesia,Jordan ,Spain,Britan and eventually Canada and the U.S. The Palestinian deserve our attention and no respect or honor.

Marcel ,   Florida   (11.10.05)
What an idiot ,the moslems did this and you continue to cover for them and protect them .The fact that you bring up Goldstein reveals that you are an agent provacateur for the jihad forces.You doi a lousy job with your propaganda Abdul stenier.
16. To Ron, France
Gene ,   Israel   (11.10.05)
Ron, you are so brain-washed! People like you are used to blame all the problems of the world on the jews. Look at yourself first. Your country have centuries of colonial politics in Africa and other parts of the world. Even now you do not have even single representative of ethnic minorities in your parlament. So be quiet, and do some thinking..
17. WHY?
USA   (11.10.05)
I am hearing stories the Israelis were warned. please someone elaborate- if anyone had prior knowledge of such an awful awful event, why not save as many people as possible- with holding information is murder. literally-
18. I'm back
Sam ,   Alquds, Palestine   (11.10.05)
Hello everybody. The most inconsiderate thing anybody can do at such a time is to start throwing accusations here and there. This act shows the kind of ideas such groups have, and how wrong people can be when they classify a whole nation, a whole religion with such ease. Nobody ever said there were no terrorists among the moslems, but this is not a trade mark for islam. Among the very first to introduce this kind of devestation to the Middle East, and in fact the first ones to do it Marcel from the sunshine state, were the Etsel, Lehi, Irgon. You don't know what those are? ask someone who knows how to read.
19. Re#14
Ron ,   France   (11.10.05)
I wonder why U through the accusations on Palestinians. Defending your self agaist occuppation is legal by all means even UN constitution allows using force against occupation terrorist power.Saying this does not justify what is going on in Jordan, this is a terrorist act by all means, no religion or normal norms would allow this. But let me remind U, if Israel committed to the peace process and withdraw to 1967 borders, would not this save the region lots of troubles and blood shid, but the problem is thgat Israel had/will have accept any fair solution because they have their own peace agenda....

Barry ,   Tokyo   (11.10.05)
Israel was attacked by Arabs openly bent on destoying it. The loser, again the Arabs, should not be expected to be rewarded after starting a war which swiftly ended in turning out to be one of history's most devastating defeat. Why should they be rewarded by an Israeli withdrawal? The Arabs and their supporters should either put up or shut up.
