We Christians get puzzled by the news we keep seeing. There has been an official statement that Toyota vehicles that are being operated by ISIS are the same ones used by the Jordanian government. They were originally procured by the Jordanian government and they ended up in ISIS camps. It was covered by the Russian media but the English speaking media has not covered this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cAs a former intelligence operative, I can confirm that ISIS trainers were trained in Jordan as freedom fighters,\u201d he noted, hinting that there is a connection between the Jordanian regime that is falsely perceived to be a moderate ally in the War against Terrorism in the West and the murderous terror organization known as ISIS which is infamous for its brutal persecution of non-Muslim minority groups such as Christians and Yazidis. \u201cAlso, it is no secret that many of the weapons licensed to be manufactured in Jordan ended up in the hands of ISIS. When we hear about these things in Jordan, where we thought that we were safe and secure, can you imagine how we Jordanian Christians feel this Christmas?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cAnother example of Jordan\u2019s instability is the shooting of several Westerners by a senior level police officer,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt was declared to be an ISIS operation. ISIS is closer to the Jordanian government than even we Christians can imagine. The Police officer that killed the Americans in Amman was a colonel and a training officer. How many hundreds of thousands of officers have been trained by this ISIS member? Also, it\u2019s even more troubling that he has even trained Christian officers for counter-terrorism and one has to wonder how much indoctrination was inflicted upon these people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The Jordanian intelligence officer stressed that despite the Hashemite\u2019s positive image within certain Western circles, the relationship between Muslims and Christians within Jordan is not good: \u201cThe largest church in Jordan has been burned down under the watch of the Jordanian king in the 1950\u2019s. There was a recent case when a Christian program aired profound language on TV and amazingly, the governments\u2019 media itself began mentioning that it was Christian instead of focusing on what they did. There is state-sanctioned incitement against Christians in Jordan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThere has been countless cases of Christian women being taken by force and the law supports it,\u201d he explained. \u201cLaw 308 states that a rapist who rapes a woman is exempted from charges if he offers her marriage. There is a history of Muslims raping Christian women so they can marry them by force. The government knows this and doesn\u2019t have a problem with it. According to the Jordanian law, a Christian cannot marry a Muslim woman but a Muslim can marry a Christian woman. If a Christian rapes a woman, he has no other option but to be punished. If a Muslim rapes a Christian woman, he can just offer to marry her and get off the hook.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Given this legal situation, the Jordanian intelligence collaberator noted that one can almost not find a Jordanian Christian who would dare to rape anyone but there are many cases of Muslims raping women: \u201cThat law basically gives a license to rape Muslim and Christian women without going to jail and prevents Christians from benefitting from it. Today, raping a girl is ok because the law protects you. The law protects rape and even discriminates in a crooked way against Christians, who cannot rape a Muslim woman and get off the hook for he can\u2019t marry her.\u201d Meanwhile, if there is any sort of sexual relationship between a Muslim and a Muslim outside of marriage, whether it was rape or consensual, Haddadin noted that the girl often ends up dead for violating family honor, which makes Law 308 essentially a death sentence for many Muslim women. Should the victim be Christian, it can lead to forcing the girl to marry the Muslim rapist in order to preserve family honor and this adversely affects the Christian community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">According to the Jordanian intelligence collaberator, there are many other signs indicating that Jordanian Christians are not secure this Christmas: \u201cA Jordanian fighter defected and joined ISIS. He was the cousin of the Security Minister. His funeral was attended by statesmen and the king\u2019s men. This tells us we are not safe. Strangely, no one publicizes it. Everyone knew that statesmen and government ministers attended without the photo shoot. As a Christian, how safe should we feel in Jordan when a MP\u2019s son dies fighting for ISIS and his funeral was in Amman with the attendance of government officials. This guy was a cousin to a Jordanian pilot. There are like 20 cases like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">He noted there is a reason why these facts aren\u2019t making it into the English-speaking media: \u201cI can confirm as a former intelligence operative that Western journalists receive hand-outs from the Jordanian government. If you call the palace and are nice, they can give you a big check. They bought off the media. There is an Egyptian TV anchor who began cheering for the King. He has been given incredible money. If they give him that, how much would they give American and Israeli journalists? One example of that is a journalist and radio jokey named Mohammed Wakel. His job is to cheerlead for the king and to be anti-Israel. He gets paid 62,000 dollars a month.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">But buying off the media is not the only reason why these stories are not being reported. According to the Jordanian intelligence collaberator, the Hashemites know how to engage in public relations. They appoint a few token Christians to good positions in order to disguise their mistreatment of Christians generally speaking within the country for Western audiences: \u201cThe way the king does it is that he puts certain Christians close to him as a fa\u00e7ade in order to claim he does not oppress Christians, while in reality they are oppressed. De Ma Faraj, wife of the king\u2019s doctor, is also Christian and praising the king on television but this is a farce. It does not stop the oppression and hatred of Christians.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">However, despite the propaganda and the buying off of journalists, the Jordanian Opposition Coalition has stressed that the US government is aware of these issues. US Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton recognizes that \u201cJordan\u2019s future is unclear\u201d and she \u201cquestions whether Jordan will remain stable in the future.\u201d They noted that after the Jordanian media has been repetitively calling for the stabbing of Jews and the tragic shooting of Americans by a senior level Jordanian police officer, the US issued a travel adversary warning to the Arab country. But, they also noted that under US President Barack Obama, the US State Department has decided that despite these developments they would continue communicating with the Jordanian king and the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood but to date, they won\u2019t speak to the secular opposition led by the Jordanian Opposition Coalition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Aside from the state-sanctioned persecution against Christians and the growth of ISIS in Jordan, the Jordanian intelligence collaberator emphasized that the general instability within the country that Hillary Clinton recognized is also troublesome to the country\u2019s Christian population: \u201cEven without the religious side of it, Jordan\u2019s security agencies are acting like gangs. There was a murder in the office of the security chief. His secretary murdered another colleague. He killed him with four bullets in the chest inside the office of the security chief. Could you hear of such a murder in the Mossad or Shin Bet? Even without the fundamentalism, the Jordanian state already acts like unruly gangs. The security agencies themselves are not secure. How can the Christians trust them to protect them against fundamentalists?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">While some might argue that these incidents within the Jordanian security establishment might be signs that Jordan\u2019s monarchy is merely losing control of the country, he noted that the King cannot shift the blame for these incidents to that fact: \u201cThe way I understand it, it is the policy of the king to keep the unrest in order to stay in power, which is risky for us Christians. The Jordanian security establishment is not entirely a tight click. The Jordanian pilot that was shot down over Syria was actually shot down by another Jordanian jet. Recently, there was a Jordanian fighter who was fired for he did not want to cooperate with the Israeli Air Force. One day after that, another pilot was fired for the same reason. This shows that the Jordanian establishment is more radicalized than anyone else thinks. In conclusion, we don\u2019t feel safe in Jordan as Christians. We don\u2019t think the Jordanian state is capable or willing to protect us against fundamentalists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThe bottom line is I believe and most Christians believe that Jordan is a racist, fundamentalist country that hates minorities such as Christians and others,\u201d he declared. \u201cThe donations given to Christians from the international community is given to the king who pockets it and nothing is filtered down to the people. While the king puts on a fa\u00e7ade, there was never a Christian MP or any other senior level Christian officer so Jordan is a fundamentalist regime. The oppression of Christians is systematic in Jordan.\u201d However, Haddadin proclaimed that this also has implications for Israel: \u201cThey are also hateful of Jews and anti-Semitic to the extreme. Jordan deported a man for wearing a kippa and even removed the kippas off the children\u2019s heads with their own hands. Also, how can Jordan\u2019s king claim to be anti-ISIS and anti-fundamentalist while his state schools teach that we should fight Jews, who are children of apes and pigs? This is in the official state media and schools. How can he preach that in Jordan and preach peace somewhere else? I cannot understand why they cannot see the king for who he is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The Jordanian Opposition Coalition noted that the world does have another alternative to the King that is not the Muslim Brotherhood or ISIS. They merely have to listen to them and work to support them: \u201cThe Jordanian Opposition Coalition\u2019s worst fear is that multiple nations around the world will not hear the fragile voices of those whom the Jordanian Opposition Coalition represents. This will bring a halt to the change that is inevitable for Jordan. In fact, in our opinion, failure to do something about it now will bring more chaos and violence later to a region that is already in chaos, adding to the unhealthy atmosphere in the region that is affecting everyone\u2019s interests. In our eyes, failure to pay attention to what\u2019s happening in Jordan could spiral out of control and create another Libya-like situation or God forbid, an all-out civil war just like in Syria. In other words, helping to stabilize Jordan now will stabilize the region and the Jordanian Opposition Coalition is a clear part of helping bring stability to the region.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 710px;\" \/>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\" content-alignment&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> twoje uwagi, linki, wlasne artykuly, lub wiadomosci przeslij do: <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 710px;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Jordanian intelligence collaberator: \u201cWe trained ISIS\u201d Rachel Avraham Photo Credit: Channel 2 News As Christmas approaches, a prominent member of Jordan\u2019s Christian community and a former Jordanian intelligence collaborator discusses the ascent of ISIS, the plight of Christians in Jordan, and the great instability within the country that is not widely discussed in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[26,24],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32614"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32614"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32614\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32617,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32614\/revisions\/32617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
