Iraq-Jordan

Jordan Islamists slam terrorism in Iraq

2005-03-16

Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood Wednesday denounced terrorist acts targeting Iraqi civilians and kidnapping of foreigner journalists and workers.

"But....."

Brotherhood leader Abdel Majid Thuneibat said, however, the Iraqi people have a legitimate and religious right to resist foreign occupation by all means, including military.

...."It's your duty to kill the infidels, and anyone helping them, and people who look at you funny..."

"We reject terrorist acts targeting civilians and foreign journalists and humanitarian workers in Iraq," Thuneibat told reporters.

"Don't you know they're all on your side, the journalists, I mean.."

He said many criminal acts have been falsely attributed to the Iraqi resistance, such as terrorist attacks against civilians, and "these acts are strongly denounced by the Muslim Brotherhood."
Thuneibat's comments were seen as a response to accusations by Iraqi Shiite leaders that a suicide attack that killed 100 people in Hulla last month was carried out by a Jordanian identified as Raed Banna.

"He wasn't really a Jordanian, or a islamist either. We're all a peaceful sort, trust me.."

#5 The British and the French drew up the "national boundaries" of the Middle East following World War I. There's no reason the United States can't do the same thing after Middle East War II. Countries that "just appeared" can "just disappear". After all, the guy with the biggest stick makes the rules in Arabland, right? I think Bush wins hands down.

#4 #1- "The usual have it both ways "legitimate resistance" / "Religion of Peace" bullshit."

Agreed: to Achnod Mageehod Tunethubat and the MSM ass he rode in on, this trite disclaimer is supposed to mask the fact that his little jihadees are all drug addicted homicideophiles on the payroll of an international crime syndicate: Its nothing but sport to them. (nothing but sport and Satan, more like). They probably got bored with WFW, and now have moved on to the harder stuff.

"He said many criminal acts have been falsely attributed to the Iraqi resistance, such as terrorist attacks against civilians, and "these acts are strongly denounced by the Muslim Brotherhood."

But that in itself won't cover it; he denies that Islamicist killers committed the acts in the first place, by issuing the retroactive denunciation by the equally homicidal "Muslim Brotherhood".

Is it any wonder why the LSM eats up this doublespeak-gruel and says "Thank You Sir, May I Have Some More?

#3 The inability to engage in introspection and recognize crippling inconsistencies make these kinda folks the pathetic beings they are. They sling their Sh?? and actually believe it too! They'd make a great government if they ever had power. Strongly denouncing stuff but never doing much about it seems the M.O. Kinda like Maskhadov in Chechnya saying that the perps behind Breslan (remember Basayev personally took credit) would be put on trial after the war. Uh Huh. And a whole lotta people who you've killed for far less don't get the benefit of a trial. That's real cool. Is it something in the water that makes em all seem to go nutty in the same way?

#2 Abdel and the Muslim Bro'hood jumping' on the Peace Train, eh? Who would have thunk it? Must have read a RB Master of the Obvious comic book.

#1 The usual have it both ways "legitimate resistance" / "Religion of Peace" bullshit. I'm wondering what took them so long to issue their version since it's the same as all the other Muzzy asshat statements. The Jordanian MB must ride the Muzzy Short Bus.
