1. Jordan-Hamas
concerned Christian ,   Dallas-Fort Worth Te   (02.16.06)
This kind of derails the Palestinians story of having been in Jeruselem for 2000 years doesn't it? Even their own people can't stand them.
2. Wecome Hamas to Excile!
Steve ,   USA   (02.16.06)
B"H Response: These are invited in the capacity NOT as Jordanians, where they have a trackrecord of violence and their group is illegal for that there. Jordon is looking for them to return to excile from Jordan. That puts a little dent in the National Union negotiating strategy whereby Jordon takes control of the Arabs. What is to be done with those Arabs affiliated with Hamas, or after the last poll are all supporting Arabs now affiliated with Hamas? Jordon does not seem to want them anymore as THEIR residents. Perhaps Hamas would be looking to negotiate this return even more strongly than Israel! to Quote: “We welcome the visit of a delegation of our brothers the leaders of Hamas in their capacity as Palestinians,” Prime Minister Marouf Bakheet told a parliamentary session. Response: It is incumbant to establish charatible institutions not dependent on Hamas and to fund those instead of Hamas. Because funding Hamas funds the terror war against Israel. The average Arab could care less about his own circumstance and wants war with the election of Hamas with its platform of war against Israel. To help alleviate suffering of the average Arab, therefore, one needs to reach above the power he elected, and provide him with alternate means. to Quote: Abdullah also urged the EU and other donors not to suspend international assistance to a Palestinian government because ordinary Palestinians would suffer.
3. King Abdullah means well

but he should not help broker a deal with people that would turn on him in a second.
4. Good King
Jon   (02.16.06)
U like to mention that Mashal had illegal activities in Jordan and expelled seven years ago. However, U do not like to mention that Israel tried to assissinate him while he was in Jordan. I am pettu sure That King abdullah likes Sharon more than Mashal but it is known to all Muslims where is this guy stands in this conflict, he is more Israeli than Jewish.
5. They tried to kill his father, he invites them back. Stupid.

Who told you that Arabs are not with us. Do not you see the fury in the whole Arab and muslim world. Or you just want to understand what makes you happy?!
7. Hey king abdullah
hanina ,   usa   (02.16.06)
Once they are on your soil you are caught with the hot potato. Your best bet would be to send in your own army and kill them yourself. Vindicate your people before Hashem makes his decision. Then you will have more of a bargining chip with Hashem. Remember to smile for the camera, bow and be respectful. cheers ol' buddy.
8. Has King Abdullah Forgotten Black September
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.16.06)
You wait another 2 weeks and Hamas is celebrated as legit. Around the world, this really helps their already inflated Ego, and in fact says in short, those who invite them agree to Hamas charter and the destruction of Israel.... is this the second coming of the holocaust ? Did Jordan already forget Black September ? The attempt of Arafat and his goons same as Hamas no difference one bit, to kill the late King, has the son forgotten the father's ordeal .... and how he expelled the Palestinian Terrorists, as did in fact 5 Arab States?
9. West bank of Jordan ????
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.16.06)
What WestBank are you talking about Jordan. or Judea and Samaria ? Get Real man.
10. John keeps his record going AS the Westend of
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.16.06)
an Eastbound Donkey Why don't you say your real name ..... is it actually Mohamed ?
11. Abdullah's British mother, Toni Gardiner is she really proud
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.16.06)
Abdullah is ONLY the fourth king in Jordan's brief history as a full-blown nation state. An invention by the Brits, since an Emir wanted a kingdom of his own. This King; He formally adopted the name Abdullah II. His great-grandfather and the founder of Jordan was King Abdullah I. This young new monarch was an army commander (trained in Britain as his own father was) with little political experience when his father unexpectedly named him as his heir, shortly before his death from cancer. This may be the reason of his mistakes he makes NOW Hussein's brother, Prince Hassan, lost his standing as heir to the throne in that shake-up

The only reason why you in the arab world are reacting so violently,is because you are an oppressed people,This cartoon nonsense,has nothing to do with your showing the world ,your real motivations. Your religion preaches violence,that we are aware of,Only,in every arab country on this planet,The citizens live under the warped minds of your religious Mollahs,who tell you what the scriptures in the Coran Mean,It's about time you all sit down,and make up your minds,what it really does say.What we are seeing ,with your violence,is your frustration with your leaders,and fortunately ,this Cartoon incident ,is giving you a reason to overreact. We are not saying dont manifest,,but when you call for the death of Westerners,Jews,Christians,Catholics and all who do not belong to Islam,you are showing us ,that you are a violent people,who put religion,above all that is HUMANE.and this is what makes us misunderstand the Arab Nation.Which you call ANTI-MUSLIM.As you have not even amongst you,responsable Arab leaders to prove,that you are a peaceful Religion.Where on this planet,does a respected nation call for the distruction of another nation,and its people??Where do we see,people calling for the slaughter,of innocent civiliens,because of some bad joke??Please,grow up,and start Giving love for your Allah ,instead of killing for him.Because as far as I am concerned,Allah never did ask that you kill in his name,"BUT "if he did,is it so surprising ,that we have so little respect for you???????????
