Jordanian king slams Zarqawi symphatizers

Jordan's King Abdullah II stressed that there will be no tolerance to people that incite and support terrorism in any form. In an interview with the German Der Speigel Magazine, published on Monday, the King said that the overwhelming majority of the Islamic movements are moderate, peace-loving people, pointing that "the debate in our society now is that people have to agree on zero-tolerance to terrorism." "We have to identify to everybody what terrorism is," said the King.

 

In response to a question on the visit of the four Parliament members who paid condolences to Al-Zarqawi's family, the king said "There are some elements in our society who are misguided individuals. Al-Zarqawi was a mass murderer, not only killing innocent people in Jordan, but also in Iraq and elsewhere. I cannot fathom how some people can make this man a hero."

 

In response to a question, King Abdullah pointed "the members of Muslim Brotherhood have to redefine their relationship with us. They have been working in the grey area for the past decades. I think society throughout the world now has to decide what is good and what is evil. I believe that the majority of the Brotherhood wants a good future for this country, and a good future for their children. I think that we can all work as a team."
