The solidarity among all Jordanians following the horrendous tragedy was a source of pride to all of us. Jordanians across the political arenas came together for the first time since the death of Late King Hussein joining hands and souls together in defying stand against terrorism. The question of the day is" how this tragedy will affect the political life in Jordan on the long run? And why the king is talking now about an existing problem within Political Islam?! Personally, I believe that Religion, Politics and Democracy just do not mix. Why? If the religious faith of a political group such as the Muslim Brotherhood of Jordan, does not permit that group to entertain arguments against the positions they hold, then there is no point to have a debate with this group at the first place. Additionally , It is almost impossible for the opposition parties to debate with them, since their religious faith does not permit them to change their mind. So why to have Democracy at the first place?
How is Jordan going to move forward with its national agenda if over half of the Jordanian parties have a non-Jordanian agenda and propaganda? How can Jordanians demand change and political reform from the government when this political reform endangers the national security of our nation? Good questions with no easy answers! A good start would be if those parties begin to care for their non-Muslims or secular Jordanian citizens who live across the street from their homes and offices over their Muslim or ideological non-Jordanian brothers who live thousand of miles away form them.

Interesting points you make.
Thanks Tololy
Thanks Tololy
issam, while i agree with you to an extent we have to go back to the root of this. the plan set forth in jordan is that of a democracy however even if the muslim brotherhood stood back and did absolutly nothing and let people choose their parties, elect their chairs, they will still be the overwhelming majority in any given scenario. this goes for 98% of all Arab countries. You're begining to see that in Egypt, where a party that is officially and legally banned can still manage to get 1/3 of the seats.
the brotherhood is not like the ta7reer, it does not rant about some islamic empire from indonesia to morocco, it simply wants to bring religion back to politics. It's not there to pass legislation making every woman in jordan wear a veil, but rather launch educational programs to educate the Muslim youth. They are considerably moderate and this explains why they are not banned.
Nas, I think that the political game rule has changed indefinitely in Jordan and I doubt that Political Opposition parties understand these changes in the political climate. We no longer can afford to condemn or praise a suicide attack basing our judgment on the nationality of the victims!
Can the Muslim Brotherhood condemn a suicide attack on an Israeli school bus carrying Israel children? I doubt it because the existing Arab Israel conflict is the only agenda item that attract and please their constituency. If Islam is the solution to our 21st century challenges that face Jordan, let one of their leadership members explain to the Jordanian people, their agenda for solving the unemployment problem among young Jordanians. They have no economic plan besides boycotting the American products and investments which is of course a recipe for disaster to our nation. And by the way, this applies to other Opposition parties as well.
