King
Abdullah II is not like U.S. President Barack Obama, who is afraid to
fight Islamic terrorism and afraid of an Iran that aspires to be nuclear,
even as it threatens all of us, including the U.S.
What
does President Obama, leader of the greatest power on earth, think Iran
is building intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) for? Iran does
not need them to strike Israel, or ISIS or the Sunni countries of the
Middle East. It can already do that without ICBMs. Yet His Majesty King
Abdullah ibn Hussein, king of one of the smallest countries in the world,
is ready to fight heroically to protect his people.
ISIS
sleeper cells are in place throughout Jordan. It is now clear to
Jordanian security officials that because of religious and ideological
ties, the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan is now ISIS's fifth column.
Unlike
other Arab leaders, who are afraid to act openly against the Islamist
terrorist organizations, and some of whom finance them, Jordan's King
Abdullah II, a descendant of Muhammad (S.A.A.W.), has shown genuine
leadership and courage, both in the air and on land, to halt the spread
of ISIS toward other Arab states. He is also worthy of being in the small
pantheon of Middle East heroes who give Arabs and Muslims real hope for
change.
Public
opinion polls in the West Bank show that if Israeli security forces
withdrew from it, Hamas would immediately take over the West Bank the way
it took over the Gaza Strip. Within a short time, rockets and mortar
shells would be launched into Israel.
A
historic change is slowly shifting the attitude of the Muslim world away
from Islamist terrorism.
As a
devout Muslim, I know that Allah created us to live for him, not to die.

The burning alive in a cage of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh,
at the hands of ISIS, was yet another tragic example of how Muslim
Brotherhood disciples in the various terrorist organizations around the
world implement the idea of takfir (excommunication; declaring
that someone is no longer a Muslim, but instead an infidel) in order to
hurt millions of innocent Muslims around the world.
As far as the Muslim Brotherhood and the even more radical
Salafist-jihadi movements are concerned, takfir means that every
single Muslim who opposes their ideology, regardless of nationality,
ethnic group or specific school of belief, is an "unbeliever"
who should be put to death as rejecting Islam (murtad). Needless
to say, the same is true for people of any other religious affiliation,
such as Jews, Christians, Buddhists, etc.

The
failed state of Libya has become easy prey for ISIS. The terrorist
organization has announced that it is planning to use Libya as a gateway
to Europe.
From
Sabratha and Sirte, ISIS is able to launch attacks on Italy and Malta.
There
is also the threat of attacks on maritime targets, such as cruise liners
on the Mediterranean.
The
Office of Migration in Rome confirms that there could be as many as half
a million people in camps waiting to come to Italy.

ISIS terrorists prepare to murder 21 Egyptian
Christians in Libya, February 2015.

Last week, Toto Martello, a spokesman for the fishermen of the
Italian island of Lampedusa, sounded the alarm. "The Mediterranean
is becoming the world's powder keg," he said. He demanded that the
Italian government declare a state of emergency in Lampedusa and Linosa,
two islands halfway between Italy and Libya. "We are frightened of
our boats being boarded by terrorists," Martello said.
Last month, the Islamist terror organization ISIS (Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria) gained a foothold near Sirte, and shocked the world with
video footage of the beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians against the
background of the Mediterranean Sea. The atrocity provoked Egyptian air
strikes on Derna, another ISIS stronghold along the Libyan coast. This
unilateral Egyptian action prompted the terror-supporting state of Qatar
to recall its ambassador from Cairo.
