In the wake of Al-Qaidas November 9 terrorist attacks at hotels in Amman , Jordan , the family and tribe of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi have justifiably disowned him.
Zarqawi, born Ahmed Fadheel Nazzal al-Khalayleh, is a Jordanian citizen who currently serves as the leader of Al-Qaida in Iraq . His terrorist organization has claimed credit for the three bombings in Amman which murdered citizens of many nations, primarily Jordanian hotel employees.
In an advertisement which ran in Jordanian newspapers on November 20, Zarqawis family said, "We denounce in the clearest terms all the terrorist actions claimed by the so-called Ahmed Fadheel al-Khalayleh, who calls himself Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and affirm that we, the sons of the Khalayleh tribe, repudiate him.
"We announce, and all the people are our witnesses, that we are innocent of him and all that emanates from him, whether action, assertion or decision. A Jordanian doesn't stab himself with his own spear. We sever links with him until doomsday."
The ads came just days after Jordanians filled the streets of Amman in a display of patriotism for their great nation, and to take a stand against terrorism.
Meanwhile, Zarqawi continues to justify his insane attacks on innocent civilians, ranting, "We chose these hotels after over two months of thorough checks with trusted sources inside the hotels and elsewhere showed that they were centers for Jewish, U.S. and Jordanian security apparatus.
The terrorists dead-end vision for the future has no place in a civilized world. US CENTCOM stands alongside the people, government, and King of Jordan, and all who reject Zarqawi and his terrorist network.
Victory in the war on terror comes from bypassing the 1000 to 1500 years of slaughter and misery which was the fate of the western world after the fall of the Romam Empire to enfranchise constituencies within the Arab world who will repudiate the Wahhabi/Salafi heresy for broadly representative government.
Granted the site does not tell everything the extremists are saying, but it does report those things they wish would not become public knowledge.
A big question for the people of Iraq and other Muslim countries: Even if you admire the "insurgency", do you really want that kind of people running your country and your lives, should they win? Would your life be better under Zarqawi and his ilk than under democratic rule?

I agree that the anti-terror sentiment stirred up by these insane bombings could be a turning point in the process of re-civilizing these countries.
