Jordan’s King Sees a Possible ‘Lack of Understanding of Islam’ in Washington

Islam is “not a religion of hate,” Jordan’s King Abdullah said in a recent interview, arguing that there was perhaps a “lack of understanding” of the religion in Washington.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria asked Abdullah — in an interview filmed in Davos last month but aired on Sunday — about President Trump’s stated view during the 2016 election campaign that “I think Islam hates us.”

“By ‘us,’ I think he meant America,” Zakaria said. “In your conversations with President Trump, have you tried to persuade him that that was not the case?”

“Absolutely, to all Americans,” Abdullah replied. “And whether I’m in Washington, in the Congress, or with the administration, I think maybe there’s a lack of understanding of Islam.”

Abdullah said his religion is built on “moral virtues” that are seen in other faiths including Christianity and Judaism.

“It is not a religion of hate,” he said. “We, as Muslims, believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah. We believe in the holy virgin mother. We believe in the Bible and the Torah. And I think this is the way that all of us were brought up.” …

No, you do not believe in the Bible (which includes the Torah; that “and the Torah” statement is a dead giveaway). And also, the Koran repeats denial of Jesus being the Son of God (which the Bible clearly states the Messiah to be) in several verses. Never mind the absence of the Ten Commandments from the Koran.

The plethora of differences between the Koran and the Bible are just too stark and obvious.

When Muslims rape and kill the infidels they don’t do it out of hate.

If Washington understood Islam, Mecca would be a radioactive crater in 15 minutes.

So does Satan. Like Satan, they also fear his power and seek to create a false Jesus in peoples minds. Sadly, most Americans do not understand Christianity, so they will take the guy’s words at face value.

Ever do the numbers? If Russia and the United States agreed to reduce their nuclear stockpiles by dropping 500, each, on terrorist-supporting cities, that would have a major effect on the number of terrorist supporters in the world. Wipe out the 20 biggest pro-terrorist cities each in 50 countries, and Islamic terror goes from global threat to history footnote in minutes. The Left is anti-nuke, so they should like that stockpile reduction.

POS fool. His fight within Islam is what is murdering Americans and innocents worldwide. How long has this fight been going on and how many murdered?

This clown not only contradicts himself but practices taqiyya.

All those who speak thusly can go to hell, the sooner the better.

But I have no strong feelings on the matter.

He is so right. Islam is evil and people do not yet understand or accept that.

The king of Jordan wishes to keep his throne & his head. Simple.

‘Lack of Understanding of Islam’

Why don’t you understand that if you don’t Sharia, we kill you?

a “lack of understanding”? No King. We who know history, both ancient and modern understand Islam only too well.

I wonder if Jeb! was ever asked about Islam and if he parroted Barry’s comments as a “religion of peace” or if he changed it up and applied a similar “act of love” moniker for them as he did with the illegal immigrants invading our country.

Islam is not even a religion “of love” among Moslems. They kill each other as eagerly as they kill infidels.

We, as Muslims, believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

So that must be the reason that Muslims burn churches and behead Christians.

As a proud infidel, I believe Muslims are liars.

Abdullah, I would love to have a face-to-face discussion about islam with you. No fist-fighting or any violence, just a talk so you could see why I have an understanding of islam and the background that gave me that knowledge.

Seems about 3 years ago I remember a Jordanian pilot that was burned alive...and the King as upset. Seems at the core of the reason he was being burned was those who view the King of Jordan as being SOFT on the WEST and not really applying the Sword of Justice that the messenger of Allah, Mohammed had commissioned. I think it has to do how we treat the word MUSLIM. For a comment we could easily understand, if you used the word CHRISTIAN to an Assembly of God, or a Baptist, or a Universalist, or an Anglican Homosexual, the term Christian would be hard to swallow for an Amish person who was asked to look upon an English Anglican as Christian. SO...even So, the word MUSLIM, has all sorts of crazy and decent people. I think that President Trump understands that MANY Muslims are peace loving, but then there are the Koran Bible Thumpers who take LITERALLY the idea of cutting off the head of infidels. I would HOPE that the King of Jordan is not justifying them.
