Seriuosly though I think the IAF has scored a goal here. It has promoted an image of "religious tolerance" with electing a Christian but then the guy himself chose to resign under presure that was not explained. So the IAF proved they are fundamentalists after all, at least in public.

The thing about Jordanian society is that it's not fundamentalist in its nature. I mean of course we do have extremists, but the majority is still moderate and view religion (Islam in particular) as the religion of piece. Nevertheless, economic hardship and denied rights (feeling as unwanted/robbed/unsafe in your country) could be a fertile ground for extremists to spread. So is Aziz resignation a wise step? Frankly my head hurts now, would think later about this. Jordan is in need of a new political front that advocates equal rights for all citizenships regardless of any other considerations,a front that calls for law and order, rather wasta and Jaha. Nas are you interested in forming this party? We'll rent some nice place in Mafraq (rents run cheap there) we'll throw in some pool table, a dartboard, a pinball machine would be nice, and endless supplies of Manaseef and Knafeh. We'll have Hayfa Wahbe as our star guest for the opening (guaranteed memberships right away).....happy days, happy days. I like, Hi5.
