I just got this off Prince Hassan's web site:
Words cannot express adequately the pain and anguish I feel at yesterday’s heinous attacks in Amman. The full horror of the events is difficult to comprehend. As a Jordanian, I share the anguish of my countrymen at those who have orchestrated such diabolical carnage in our capital. As a husband, a father and a grandfather, I can only imagine the pain and suffering felt by the families affected by this tragedy. In the weeks and months ahead, we must all stand together and raise aloft those values which must form the core of Jordan’s binding charter – compassion, respect for difference, mutual understanding and a shared humanity. If we fail in this, then terror is victorious. Let us be firm in our resolve to properly inform the world of the roots of our dire predicament. We are not the victims of religious men. Those ideologues and demagogues who set themselves above the rights of man and the laws of God have no place in any religion. They are faithless and dishonest. They must be brought to justice. Rather, we must look to the social divisions within our society. These attacks were not aimed merely at symbols of western influence in Jordan. Their targets reflect the increasing polarisation of our population. The foot-soldiers of such atrocities are all too often the twisted products of a silenced majority. Our challenge is to offer all citizens a stake in our country’s future. We must not abandon the underprivileged to an underworld of false imams and false hope. Our future happiness and well-being depends not only on the hard security of arms and intelligence, but on a soft approach to those who are victims without a voice. This is a time not only for good government, but more importantly, for good governance. We must face up to the divisions blighting our world. We must all work together to defeat hatred and give hope. This is not a mission of optimism but one of necessity. We may never properly come to terms with the senseless hatred that fuelled this outrage. However, we must offer our support to the victims of these attacks as they struggle to recover from the physical and mental trauma. Let us draw strength from our faith and our shared values. Most importantly, these terrible attacks must not be allowed to feed the hateful inhumanity of the few. Rather, these images of death and destruction must strengthen our compassion and elevate our common humanity. |

Jordan's Queen Rania Visits Bomb Victims
After suicide bombers simultaneously attacked three hotels in Amman, killing at least 56 people and injuring more than 100 on Wednesday, Jordan's Queen Rania Al-Abdullah on Thursday paid her respects to victims throughout the capital city, consoling the wounded in hospitals and offering words of comfort to their families. http://people.aol.com/people/article...128350,00.html In the second half of that article, there's a small bio on QR, a quote from Katie Couric, and also a mention of Rania's upcoming visit to the US. Now I wonder if she will go to the John Paul II legacy dinner. It would be nice if she could because the visit is meant to be about interfaith dialogue among other things. But I'd completely understand if she wants to be in Jordan at this difficult time. btw..there will be more on Queen Rania in People magazine in the next issue: http://people.aol.com/people/article...128204,00.html Two pictures from yesterday: (DPA) |

I've moved all of the pictures from the various threads regarding the terrorist attacks into this thread. I felt that since many members of the royal family are reacting to and doing many things in response to the terrorist attack, it would be better to have it all in one thread.
If you see posts that I forgot to move, please send me a PM with a link to the thread and the post number and I will move it. Alexandria |

Thank you for doing this Alexandria. Its much better this way. Instead of having to post in different threads.
Though I must say for a second there I was taken aback by the title. And then it dawned on me, thats November 9 not September 11.:p Very eerie, as maryshawn said. |

A few videos at this link (scroll down the page to the "Watch" section on the the right):
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/...sts/index.html The third video is about Queen Rania visiting the victims of the attack and also has a brief interview with her. The report was aired originally on Anderson Cooper on Thursday. |

You have to wonder if the date was a "coincidence?" Somehow--given the twisted mind of the principal terrorist--I doubt it.

It's a tough choice to make. I'd support either decision but suspect she may elect to remain in Jordan as her supportive and comforting presence seems to be greatly needed and wanted by the people right now. If she goes at all, she certainly has a message to bring to other participants and the media covering the event--on behalf of the people of Jordan. Difficult call. She may be waiting to see how things go and make it a very quick trip--or send a delegate on her behalf.

Yes we'll have to see how things go in the next few days. QR could use this opportunity to talk to the American media about the attacks in Jordan in addition to the interfaith and Arab-American dialogue she's supposed to engage in during the visit. And because the attacks happened so recently, the media will pay more attention to what she has to say.
Its exactly the sort of thing terrorists like Zarqawi dont want. But again I'd understand if QR wants to be at home right now. Here's a link for the John Paul II legacy dinner: http://www.jp2cc.org/events/LegacyDinner.asp |
