Amman Attacked
A birthday celebration last night turned into a night up with the television. Three hotels in Amman were attacked. My friends expressed anger. Feelings of sadness overwhelmed me; it has never been this personal. I had planned to attend a workshop in the Crown Plaza today and a conference in the Royal next Tuesday. I am only lucky, the only difference between me and the victims is that they were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
A wedding took place ii the RadissonSAS that evening. Approximately 60 casualties, and many wounded.
This morning AlQaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for these attacks.
Find a different name for what you do; Islam is innocent of it.

"The only difference between me and the victims is that they were at the wrong place at the wrong time." Ouch.. so true.
Today I heard: "Imagine, going to a wedding party, and not coming back home!"
My thoughts about the incident are still unclear, a mixture of sadness and anger.
Thank you for you comments.
I do understand your anger, but please be mindful of your language.
Deepest condolences to all their families and may God bless our jordan.
God bless the victimes.
Now that terror has hit home, I hope we muslims realize that we have work to do, to restore the dignity of our religion.
