Verifying King Abdullah’s Comment On The Black Iris at The Black Iris of Jordan

Verifying King Abdullah’s Comment On The Black Iris

05Jul08

I’ve received a few emails, facebook messages and sms’s regarding HM King Abdullah’s comment [link], which he posted on The Black Iris a few hours earlier today. People are generally asking me if it was really him or not so I thought I would simply verify for all that yes, indeed, it is an authentic comment left by the King. I even received a phone call from the Royal Hashemite Court verifying it. He also left a comment on Al Dustour’s website. Hopefully that will end any speculation with regards to this matter and people can feel the freedom to comment.

And to HM King Abdullah II, I have even more respect for our leader lately than I ever have, and his decision to leave a comment on this blog - to thank and attempt to communicate with Jordanians of every background and age-group - is only indicative of his authenticity in my opinion. It was a humble move from a King, that has, in turn, humbled this little blogger greatly.

It should also be noted that his comment is also indicative of his vision for a free online media in Jordan, and hopefully it will continue to evolve with that same spirit.

Thank you!

WOW! yet another highly impressive act from HM The King.
It makes us proud to have a leader who actually DOES something to communicate with his people, unlike the many others who do nothing to implement what they say.
We’re blessed to have our King, who despite of his busy life and many responsibilities, still finds the time to keep in touch with us.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who envies you Nas
