Terrorism's Second Shield
Jamil al-Nimri argues that conflating criticism of takfiri ideology with an attack on Islam protects extremism and turns calls to combat it into accusations of hostility toward religion. He stresses that the interior minister’s remarks targeted discriminatory rhetoric, not Islam or religious institutions. The Jordanian constitution, he says, guarantees equality among citizens, and he calls for an inclusive national plan to confront extremist ideology following the attack on Christian mourners at a church in Karak. He notes that Islam is the religion of 98% of citizens and that more than 90% of the population is religious, arguing that moderation and a sense of national belonging can provide a foundation for confronting terrorism.
