| Terror fight is 'third world war,' Jordan minister says |
| 2015-02-20 |
| [The Peninsula] The fight against violent extremism is a "third world war" that knows no borders, Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said Thursday, in urging greater international efforts to counter the threat. Somebody got around to saying it. Violent turbans groups count imported muscle from about 90 different countries, "all potential murderous Moslems in their own country when they return," Judeh said during a a three-day conference on combating extremism hosted by President Barack Obama I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... in Washington. In the wake of brutal attacks in Europe and the Middle East, Obama said earlier that more must be done to prevent groups like 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... and Al-Qaeda from recruiting and radicalizing. "The threat we are confronting today is unprecedented... It recognizes no boundaries, no religion, no culture, no ethnicity. It spares no religion, no culture, no ethnicity," Judeh said. "These murderous Moslems have proven to have no limit or inhibition to their brutality, barbarism or savagery," he added. "It's our war as Moslems... It's our collective war as an international community." He then reprised comments made by Jordan's King Abdullah II in December during a White House visit, labeling the fight against Islamic State bully boyz a "third world war," and pressed for increased international cooperation in the "generational fight." "Violent hard boy groups provide... an umbrella of legitimacy to criminals everywhere," Judeh said, pointing to recent attacks in Copenhagen, Ottawa, Gay Paree and Sydney. "Each one of us is a target. Let us work together to make them all a collective target." |

| #8 Rob, you're wrong about Jordan and especially about Abdullah. They've been strong allies since Desert Shield, Abdullah even more so than his father. Why do you demosntrate this irrational hatred of Jordan? |

| #3 Unfortunately, the minister screams in silence. Islamic terrorists could be standing shoulder-to-shoulder urinating in the Trevi Fountain and Europe would remain in denial. |

| #1 Wow we actually have an adult in the room discussing ISIS... Amazing, compared to our foreign policy, Jordan seems to have a pretty good grip on it. |
