First off, welcome to Tololy's Box. It is an honour to have you here with me and my readership. I share your worries, expressed in the last paragraph of your comment, but I somehow carry myself optimistically with this regard. Why I feel optimistic about this, I do not really know. It strikes me as silly actually. I do hope Jordan does not succumb to the temptation of extremism, which so many people have been hailing, then hating, and now are hailing again, mistakenly thinking that it is the right step to take to "protect" higher values.

I have heard and read Jordanians who think they should follow the U.S. example, which is in fact following Israel's example, and this is why so many Muslim men (and sometimes men who look or seem Muslim) have been beaten up, put in jail (without charge or trial), and why so many mosques have dealt with similar extreme hate crimes. I worry that Jordan will rush into something; certainly it only took about 24 hours to get metal detectors into major public places here so who knows how long it will take for similar action. Getting your ideas out there and asking Jordanians to learn by Amreeka's horrible example will be an important thing to do! Salam-- Dear Tololy,
