This is a bad one...

[Dâriûsh]

Despicable.

[Adrian II]

Looks as if this one targeted western contract workers, ngo's and media working in Iraq.

[Kanamori]

I guess I'm still having a hard time fathoming how people could be so hateful as to blow up a building of civilians. What a bunch of ass hats.

[Leet Eriksson]

Just saw it in the news. Really despicable attack.

death count just got 20 at this moment.

So this is understandable in your view, correct?

[Adrian II]

Probably a lot of bystanders again, Jordanians who have nothing to do with Iraq or politics. Islamists definitely blew it for themselves in Casablanca and Istanbul when they hit the locals in this way. Might happen in Jordan as well. Hope so.

[Leet Eriksson]

It doesn't matter for the terrorists wether other muslims die, they already think whoever goes into a western hotel somehow sinned, anyways i expect they send some kind of message by videotape sometime soon. They usually do that after explosions.

Ain't that a bugger , they base themselves in Jordan as it is too dangerous to base themselves in Iraq , but still get killed .

One of the bombs actually was targeted at a wedding party

In Casablanca one bomb targeted Spanish pensioners playing checkers.

The point was that the "irony" that Tribesman seems to see is not there (unless you think the wedding part has been moved from Iraq to Jordan for security reasons)

[Kaiser of Arabia]

53 dead, or at least, that's what Fox News says.

[Leet Eriksson]

and more than 200 wounded.

*Still wonders why it allways are the muslims who attack non-muslims and not the opposite.*

Right... Inquistion was a Muslim Organisation, as was the IRA and so is the KKK.

Well, in this case it was extremists versus Muslims and various others.

Please stop this BS radier, other muslims where killed in this.

Terrorists may be muslim, but this is not representative of islam.

Could the terrorists be declared 'anti-Muslims'? Like being excommunicated from the Catholic Church?

The irony is there in this post Clegane...Looks as if this one targeted western contract workers, ngo's and media working in Iraq.
(unless you think the wedding part has been moved from Iraq to Jordan for security reasons)
Some of the businessmen staying at that hotel initially thought the explosion was part of the wedding celebration fireworks display . Besides which weddings in Iraq have been bombed as well havn't they .
One of the bombs actually was targeted at a wedding party
It was targetted at a hotel wasn't it , or did they chose that hotel in addition to the other two because it had a wedding on ?????

Not nice business this war/terrorism or whichever mixture it is , is it ?
Not nice at all .

[kiwitt]

Why call these thugs "Terrorists". I almost think being called a Terrorist is like a badge of honor for these type of people. (i.e. phrases like - One man's "Freedom Fighter" is another's "Terrorist" etc.)

We should start calling them just criminals. This will remove some of the glamour.

Back in March, some Spanish Mufties called a Fatwa upon Al-Qaeda. They said that they had turned their back on Islam.

Edit: That was a lot of words, a Fatwa is an Islamic legal ruling, and a Mufti is an Islamic scholar.

Islam does not have a central figure, as such its kinda hard to announce it officially. Some may believe and some may not.

In the peninsula at least, after the terrorist attacks hit saudia several saudi imams declared al qaeda as not muslims. Since saudi imams (perceived by the general arab populace of the peninsula) are people of more knowledge, alot of people think they [The Terrorists] aren't muslim, so it kinda works.

[LeftEyeNine]

Latest numbers : 62 dead around 110 wounded..

Faisal is true.. After especially the dismissal of the Caliphate during the foundation of Turkey, there is no central figure to implement such a powerful fatwa.. And I think that's a better way.. The opportunity cost of a central figure is higher, I think..

Correct me if I'm wrong but, Al Qaeda belongs to Vahhabi fraction. They just dismiss anyone not being a Vahhabi, including any and every Muslims. So that Vahhabi fraction is already cursed in Islam (not in holy words, of course).

I can get it so easy for a non-Muslim to think right away that Islam spreads terror - even in Muslim countries..Though, I'd like everyone to think twice..

What difference will it make anyway? Formalities say much less of the situation that the facts themselves. That is, of course, if they've turned their backs against Islam, and I don't say this because of prejudice, I say it because I'm almost ignorant of Islamic doctrine at all.

Muslims are in most cases NOT the targets...

The world would be much safer without Islam. Islam is truly overepresentated when it comes to religious extremists.

[Louis VI the Fat]

The Union of French Islamic Organizations (UOIF) has issued a fatwa banning Muslims from joining the raging riots. It didn't have any effect on the rioters, but it did on many moderates. And I at least appreciated it highly.

Moderates need to speak up. Look at what that terrorist scum is doing in Jordan - blowing up, killing muslims peacefully attending a wedding. What's wrong with these people?

Right, since i'm a muslim, i'm automatically bloodthirsty and i'm out to kill every infidel in this world. Be prepared as i have strapped my C4 belt and i'm going to kill you now.

The world would be a whole lot better without people like you.

ALLAH AKBAR

*boom*

[LeftEyeNine]

Some guy had a sig quoted of Chomsky saying :

"You want terrorism to end?.. Stop doing it" (may not be exact words though)

I think one should start thinking that terrorism is not here because AK-47 or C4 was invented, terrorism is because it is seeded into minds - like Osama's and like yours, Radier.
