At least 5 people are dead, 9 wounded, and an estimate 14 people held hostage in a standoff between gunman and local police in the Karak castle in Jordan.

What sane westerner would go on vacation to an islamic country?
Someone who believed the MSM version of reality?

Gosh, who would attack a crusader castle?
Very true. I feel bad for the Canadian lady having to die the way she did, but if a person is foolish enough to vacation in an islamic country, you’re asking for whatever you get.
The country may not attack us or Israel but its people will

Isis has finally started to spread havoc in Jordan.
I’d love to see the Pyramids one day if Egypt ever gets under control.
I was in Jordan in 1996. My only trip to the middle east in my life. After 9 11 I have no plans to return.

Trump/Pence MAGA!
Yep, and I think Netanyahu said if anything starts in Jordan, Israel would get into it with ISIS and no longer “sit on the sidelines.”
Crusaders' fault

My son’s girlfriend was recently on a school trip to Jordan last month and it got hairy and the leader said that was the last trip that would be led to Jordan.
I know...unreal
Hopefully they’re muslim tourists, but probably not.
Morocco might still be ok. But no thank you. If I ever have a vacation, I might visit Tzfat or the folks back in the states.
So they finally come out of hiding, eh? And this is how they take revenge?
