Jordan’s King Sees a Possible ‘Lack of Understanding of Islam’ in Washington
Posted on 02/06/2018 2:46:46 AM PST by Olog-hai
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.” …

The lack of perspective is that a theocracy is a government structure totally incompatible with liberty and a Constitutional republic with democratically elected representatives. Injection of Islam into the United States is a fatal parasitic event for one or the other.
The king of Jordan wishes to keep his throne & his head. Simple.

Islam is “not a religion of hate,”
...I agree! Because it’s not a “religion”. It’s an ideology based on oppression and fear. They “hate” plenty! Just not as a religion.
We understand islam quite well thankyouverymuch.
When has a muslim ever deplored an act of terrorism, no matter how foul?
Your collective silence speaks volumes.
I do like the way you think.
We will find
sooner or later
if Achmed’ll pray
to a glowing crater
If the last two people on earth are muslims, I have no doubt one will kill the other for not being muslim enough.

Wrong. Mohammad specifically urged all his followers to kill infidels - non-believers. There is no such thing as a ‘peaceful or moderate’ mussulman.
1) When the ‘peaceful or moderate’ mussulman pays his mosque tax, he is paying into that portion which goes to finance jihad, which fees are used to kill you.
2) When the ‘peaceful or moderate’ mussulman is kind and nice to you, he is checking you and your possessions out. The koran, the hadiths and sunnahs - all five of the mussulman ‘holy’ books, proclaim the things of the infidel including wife and daughters are mussulman property and can be taken at will.
3) When the ‘peaceful or moderate’ mussulman looks and behaves like a ‘nice’ guy, that is a mask. When the time is right and you back is turned in trust, he will kill you.
4) When the ‘peaceful or moderate’ mussulman tells you of the wonders of Islam and of its similarities to Christianity, he is lying in defense of Islam - an Islamic permissible tactic called Taqiyya. The First Given Half of the koran is basically plagiarized from the Bible and the Torah. It is worth pointing out that the word ‘love’ is mentioned once and never again. This period in Mohammad’s life garnered him only 150 or so followers.
A while later, allah came again and dictated the Second Given Half, which nullified the First Given half (according to Mohammad) because it was the last words spoken by allah. Allah told Mohammad to kill all who would npt submit especially the Jew. This reign of terror swept North Africa, the Middle East, to India, to Asia Minor, and then into Europe proper.
North Africa was the grain basket of the western world at the time. The mussulmen rampaged, killed and enslaved, then loosed goat herds to systematically ate all the vegetation, turning the fertile ground into semi-arid desert which it remains today.
All of these formerly Christian lands were taken in hundreds of pitched battles. All of this taken in a period of about 100 years 625-726 AD. Afterward, the mussulmen introduced what was their biggest business: chattel slavery (the shame of the West). During this period the mussulmen destroyed every thing that was not mentioned in the koran as anathema which included all of Classical Western Civilization (books, scrolls, statuary, mosaics, libraries, monasteries) and Classical Christianity. When you read that such and such a work of Greek or Roman origin is lost, understand it was not lost in the sense of misplaced but lost in the sense of fire.
The king is lying as he is permitted to do. He wants US arms and US finances to prop him up. He probably needs tham to keep his fellow tribesmen happy and the rest subjugated lest they turn and become Jordan’s version of ISIS or AQ.
The Islamic death toll (as far as can be estimated) approaches 300,000,000 ... a religion of peace - the peace of Islam.
Learn the truth, read their five ‘holy’ books - the koran, Talibari, Muslim, Isaq and Bukhari;
Everything I’ve learned about Islam, I learned from Muslims. Ironic isn’t it?
I’ve got a pretty good impression of Islam, thanks...
Exactly.
I learned everything I need to know about islam on September 11, 2001.
“We, as Muslims, believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.”
This is a lie. The Quran does not recognize Yeshua ANYWHERE as the Messiah. It ONLY refers to Yeshua as a man who was a prophet, no more.
“...Abdullah replied...I think maybe there’s a lack of understanding of Islam.”

Actually, the problem is that there is an understanding of islam.
Stupid king
The King is right. Washington clearly doesn’t understand Islam, that is why they are trying to bring so many here.
I learned all I needed to know about Islam on 911. There are videos of Muslims all over the world celebrating the murder of nearly 3000 people.
