"No for terrorists in Jordan," protesters chanted to the beating of drums.
"But in the U.S. and Israel, no problem."

#2 I tend to look at this as good news, for just the simple fact they burned pictures of OBL and Cyclops. I never thought I would see the day that a protest in an Arab country would do such a thing. Hell I have not seen that in the USA or Israel. An anti-terrorist march in the USA might get the ACLU involved and would stop such a thing.

#3 When the demonstrators reached parliament, they burned pictures of bin Laden. . .

Yeah, the "Arab Street" is opposing the war on terror. They probably confused the pictures of bin-Laden with GWB.

This does not match the Al-Jazzera view of teh Arab world. The Jordanians are "inauthentic" Arabs.

The tape caused widespread fear throughout Jordan
Welcome to the real world - one of your religion's making.

Got to check the battery on the sympathy meter - it seems to be stuck at -10.

#13  Statement on Protest on Queen Rania's Website

..participated with thousands of Jordanians in a national public rally pledging allegiance to the country, denouncing all forms of terror..

Somehow, that sounds suspiciously like a veiled reference to Israeli actions against Palestinians. Maybe it's just me, but if the intended terrorist actions had been proclaimed by the suspects to have been directed at someone else other than Jordanians, I doubt this "protest" would have occurred.

#14 BigEd, Only formal pics like that one here. But no comparison with the jeans pic that could enrage 70-80% of muslims if it was theirs daughters or wife.
