Jordan warns of forced displacement of Arab Christians
2014-10-30
[Xinhua] King Abdullah II of Jordan Wednesday warned of the forced displacement of Arab Christians in some unrest-hit neighboring countries, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

Arab Christians played a significant role in the evolution of the Arab-Moslem civilization throughout history, the King said during a meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, who was on an official visit to Jordan.

Many Christian families have fled the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) faceless myrmidons seeking refugee in other areas in Iraq like the Kurdish capital of Irbil and then made their way to Amman, Jordan, where they found sanctuary.

#3  I don't believe Christians living in the Moslem world have any effect on the sanity of the host nations. I think of them more as hostages.

I also think the jordanians won't take any crap from the Palestinians after Arafat tried to take over back in the day.

#1  Displace them right into the West Bank. Take an equal number of Muslims into Jordan to replace them. Watch the world become a slightly better place by the trade.
