Jordan: Is Islam the Solution?

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Jordan, Ideas, Religion

“When people say that Islam is the solution I get sudden mental flashes of the morality police marching down streets burning books, whipping indecently clothed men and women, and the strict application of an extreme interpretation of Islam. Because this is where we are today. Islam is not being introduced by degrees nor is it progressing as it once did. Instead, the religion remains in center field while society swings from one extreme to another; like a pendulum that never comes to a complete stop,” rants [1] Jordanian blogger Naseem Al Tarawnah.
