 (Petra) — King Abdullah said he did not think there should be any tolerance to those who incite and support terrorism in any form. “And I think this is not just a snapshot for Jordan, I think this is a snapshot for the international community,” the King told German magazine Der Spiegel last week in an interview, which was published yesterday.

The King said he believed the overwhelming majority of the Islamic movement in Jordan is “moderate, peace-loving people”.
| Naturally. He has to be polite... |
"I think the debate in our society now is that people have to agree on zero-tolerance to terrorism. We have to identify to everybody what terrorism is," he said.
| Even though some people resolutely refuse to see it... |
Commenting on condolences paid by four Islamic Action Front MPs to Abu Mussab Zarqawi's family, the King said: “There are some elements in the Jordanian society who are misguided individuals.”
| That's a polite way of observing that they're on the other side... |
“They have to redefine their relationship with us. They have been working in the grey area for the past decades,” the King said, referring to the Muslim Brotherhood. “I think society throughout the world now has to decide what is good and what is evil.
| But Olivia sez there is no good or evil, only Zool... Uhhh... Diversity. She meant diversity. |
"I believe that the majority of the Brotherhood wants a good future for this country, and a good future for their children. I think that we can all work as a team.” Describing Zarqawi as a mass murderer, who killed innocent people in Jordan, Iraq and elsewhere, the King said: "I cannot fathom how some people can make this man a hero."
| Just depends on which side you're on. |
