The author makes a weak case. A better case from the evidence presented would be that Jordan’s king is a mercenary who sells anything to the highest bidder and deals with smugglers for profit. That sounds like just about every member of the Arab elite I have ever met.
He obviously hates King Abdulah of Jordan.
But they also made excuses for the terrorist attack AND make false claims about the US and Israel being the chief enemies. Which is practically Muslim doctrine.
I think the lesson from all of this is that Islam is a political ideology that wants all non-Muslims exterminated or enslaved, and only Muslims who truly oppose that agenda are fit to be allies of the free world.
The most important line in this article is the one saying that Jordan’s SECULAR opposition is ready to govern. I think this author knows what I just said, and is saying it without saying it.
