Yes, Obama is a Muslim.

[cripplecreek]

Losing Abdullah and Jordan is a point of no return.

[Gaffer]

Well, yes....because Queen Noor is white.

[Truth29]

This sounds like Obama’s opening gambit to topple another stable Muslim country and install the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama is creating the Muslim dream of a Greater Caliphate that will unite the Muslim Middle Eastern countries against Israel and the West.

[hoosierham]

It has been plain from his actions that always move the Muslim cause “Forward” what obama is;too bad millions of Americans are willfully blind and stupid.

To all those who say obama is doing a poor job ,I say,no he is doing a VERY good job at what his true goal is:destroying freedom.

[Shadow44]

The Hashemites are one of the few reliable Arab elites in the whole Middle East.

If they controlled Saudi Arabia instead of the Saudis, then Wahabbism probably wouldn’t be the threat it is today.

[marron]

The king may be a US ally, and a force for civilization in an uncivilized world.

But he isn’t Muslim Brotherhood, and he has to go.

[mountainlion]

That would give Israel a war form all four sides. Iran across the border and form the sea. Syria, Egypt, Jourdan, and Lebanon would all attack. Only God will save Israel.

[mojito]

If a Muslim Brotherhood regime results, 0bama is all for it.

[Yulee]

“Unless the US clarifies its position regarding King Abdullah and reiterates its full backing for his regime, the Muslim fundamentalists are likely to step up there efforts to create anarchy and lawlessness in the kingdom.”

The Palestinians have always claimed Jordan as Palestinian (along with Israel). The Muslim Brotherhood probably looks upon the removal of King Hussein as a restoration of Palestinian lands (although the vast majority of Palestinians are nothing but Arab immigrants, who came in after Jews started redeveloping the land). Since Jordan occupies two-thirds of the Palestinian Mandate. Move the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank to Jordan, with Amman as the Palestinian capital(after all,at one time they held Jordanian citizenship). Then you would have a two state solution. In fact you already have a two state solution of Jordan (majority of inhabitants are Palestinian), and Israel.

"the Muslim fundamentalists are likely to step up there efforts"

Step up "there" efforts? Clearly a product of publik schools.

[NormsRevenge]

That’d make for a heckuva REality TV show plot. Get a Kardashian.. bingo. ;-]

[ctdonath2]

IIRC, King Abdullah is a graduate of Jeff Cooper’s Gunsite self-defense school.

[gundog]

I was wondering when the royals would be targeted. All other autocrats in the region have certainly been dealt with. The Saudis...hmmm...that’s gonna leave a mark.

[karnage]

I have business in Jordan that I don’t want disturbed. This would be deeply distressing to me.

Kind of like that old cartoon of the wailing actress: “Global Thermonuclear War??? There goes my career!”

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks aimhigh.

Deputy State Department Spokesman Mark Toner managed to create panic [and anger] in the Royal Palace in Amman when he stated that there was "thirst for change" in Jordan and that the Jordanian people had "economic, political concerns," as well as "aspirations."

We were just talking about that:

And for the first time, protesters in the Jordanian capital have been calling for overthrowing King Abdullah. In an unprecedented move, demonstrators last week tried to march on the monarch's palace in Amman in scenes reminiscent of anti-regime protests in Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and Egypt.

The Jordanian authorities claim that non-Jordanian nationals who infiltrated the border have been involved in the violence, the worst to hit the kingdom in decades. The authorities say that Saudi and Syrian Muslim fundamentalists are responsible for attacks on government offices and other institutions, including banks.
