“Jordan also faces homegrown extremism, with hundreds of Jordanians fighting alongside ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria and several thousand more supporting the militant group in the kingdom. Last November, a Jordanian police captain opened fire in an international police training facility, killing two Americans and three others. The government subsequently portrayed the police captain as troubled.”
Of course. What else could he be? It’s all part of the global outbreak of mental illness.
“One American trainer killed, two injured in Jordan attack,” by Andrew Tilghman, Military Times, November 4, 2016 (thanks to Andrew Bostom):
One U.S. servicemember was killed and two others were critically injured on Friday in an exchange of gunfire at the gates of an air base in southern Jordan, U.S. defense officials said.
Reports earlier Friday morning that two service members were killed were inaccurate, a U.S. defense official said.
It was not immediately clear what prompted the shooting.
Of course. It never is.
The shots were fired as a car carrying the trainers tried to enter the al-Jafr base near the southern Jordanian town of Mann, according to the Jordanian military. A Jordanian officer was also wounded.
The U.S. Embassy in the Jordanian capital, Amman, said it had received reports about a security incident involving U.S. personnel and that it was in touch with Jordanian authorities.
Pro-Western Jordan is a key member of a U.S-led military coalition against the Islamic State group, which controls parts of neighboring Iraq and Syria.
Jordan also faces homegrown extremism, with hundreds of Jordanians fighting alongside ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria and several thousand more supporting the militant group in the kingdom.
Last November, a Jordanian police captain opened fire in an international police training facility, killing two Americans and three others. The government subsequently portrayed the police captain as troubled….

More exactly, twenty hundreds, i.e., two thousand. Officially confirmed, at least. Less than Russia or Saudi Arabia, but still a respectable number.
My guess is that this number is woefully underestimated. “Supporting the militant group”? This is a very fuzzy metric. Are they openly providing ISIS with support? Do they agree with ISIS’s goal of spreading islamic law but don’t like the public executions because they make islamic law look bad and preferred that they did it in a more stealthy way?

(..Jordan: Muslims murder one American military trainer, injure two others..)
It is actually not one but three US military trainers who were murdered by the very Jordanian muslims they were training. Read it on the BBC link below: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-37871836
Americans consider muslims as their allies yet their supposed muslim allies whom they are training and backing continue to murdering them. Dozens of Americans and other Western army trainers have been cold-bloodedly murdered in the islamic world, especially in Afghanistan for the past few years and it seems no body cares.

Several times I posted comments here warning of the radicalisation of the Jordanians. My last visit to that country was less than a month ago and I do not remember meeting one person (relative, friend or others) who is not very radicalised. Even girls with western dress working in banks or companies are only “modern” from the outside.
I used taxis everyday and, by default, the radios were tuned to some islamic preachers. Islamists have taken control of tv and the press.
It doesn’t surprise me of we see more and more Jordanians involved in future terrorism.

I’m praying that, in his first 100 days, President Trump cleans up this mess!.
Muslums can NOT BE TRUSTED! Anytime or anywhere. They will stab us in the back just as soon as they think they can get away with it.
Islam (aka., satan worshiper) IS NOT A RELIGION! Never was, never will be. It does not/should not get any government protection at all. Any organization whose stated aim is the direct SUBVERSION of our government and our Constitution must be stopped! Dead in its tracks!
THESE CRIMINALS and savages are dangerous even to each other! To let them run lose here is totally INSANE !

US Embassy/Jordan CIA/Langley and CIA Operatives go to the closet, get your ‘thinking caps’ out and proceed to using the gray matter between your ears. Disregard all calls from the
State Department, John F Kerry, White House, Barack Hussein Obama (two months to go until Freedom) nor King Abdullah.

The “insane” muslims are such common occurances – Incidents like this report are not even reported anymore. Jihad watch bloggers need to start commenting on other websites. Unfortunatly most of them do not allow comments, especially “hate speach”. Any further ideas?
dumbledoresarmy says
The Muslim assassin attacked these American soldiers on a *Friday*.
‘Nuff said.
The motive was Islamic.
Further observation: I have just done a quick google runaround, and the Jordanians are claiming that it was all the Infidels’ fault:
“There was an exchange of fire at the entrance to the base after an attempt by the trainers’ vehicle to enter the gate without heeding orders of the guards to stop,” the [Jordanian] military source said. ”
I’ll BET that this is a lot of tarradiddles. I hope the Yanks’ car had a dashcam or some other – non-obvious, and indeed, preferably hidden from and not known to Jordanian Muslims – device that was busily recording everything that transpired. Because if it did, and the Jordanians don’t know it’s there and are not able to remove it or tamper with it, then I would BET good money that the video/ audio recording reveals that the trainers’ vehicle was not in any way at all breaching protocol. I BET it *did* stop, or otherwise comply with whatever security procedures were in place, and that the attack came right out of the blue.

Thanks for that additional information, DDA. I bet you are right,
underbed cat says
Muslims attack other muslims, but both will join together to turn on foreign soldier who assist in training, this is the most dangerous job and worst part of lacking information and then sending young men..why are we training.?.
Madi says
I do not understand based on what you refer in this report Jordan as Pro Western!!, do not you know that this regime is one of the most sources of terrorism?? do not you know what is israel opinion about this regime? do not you read what the moderate jordanian opposition abroad says aboiut this regime?
Many articles by what so called anti jihad are just being unintentionally backdoors for the leftist regimes that supports such extremist regime in Jordan.

Madi, that line came from the article cited above in Military Times.
It is not Jihad Watch that is claiming that Jordan is Pro-Western.

The use of the word Muslims in the title is such a shame on you and on the writer of this post. As you may know, 96% of Jordan are Muslims so chances a random person kills another person is that he/she is Muslim. Using this title as a point of attraction for people to read, is not at all professional not to mention racist.
I really don’t care who shot who or who killed who, but your respect for Muslims as a writer is a must. You have to change the title to “Two Americans killed in shots fired in Jordan”.
Robert Spencer says
No, I don’t. The headline is accurate and stands. It is a virtual certainty that these people were killed by Islamic jihadis who killed them because they regarded them as kuffar harbi, infidels at war with Islam. Hence the headline is accurate and appropriate.
Someone says
Can you show the source of your information please?

This killing was not “random”–it was an act of Jihad, and it is absolutely salient that it was a Muslim who did it. This is more “Green on Blue” violence, and has been a form of Jihad performed by Muslims against Infidel military personnel in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and many other places.

How many times must it be said–Islam is not a race.
Islam is an ideology–not an ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is not “racist”.
It is not unprofessional to mention the religion of the perpetrator–especially given that the violence was perpetrated on the tenets of that creed.

Why is respect for those who follow a violent, supremacist creed “a must”?
Would you demand that people “respect” Nazis or Stalinists?
And your confession that you don’t care who the murderer and who the victims were is *very* telling.

Do you understand nothing about freedom of speech? You cannot curtail someone else’s freedom here.
As for your title, it is ridiculous–you phrase it in the passive voice, as if this American was murdered by “shots”, which had no agency and were fired by no one.
Someone says
Press and media have the power to change people’s beliefs, very quickly. Most of the time in the wrong direction. If you think that it is in fact Muslim jihadis who murdered the fellow American soldiers, please send me your source of information. I would really like to see it. I respect your opinion. No intention to hurt your freedom of speech.
gravenimage says
What claptrap. The very definition of these “Green on Blue” attacks is that they are Jihad. Here is just one such story, involving the Taliban:
“Afghanistan: Nato soldiers killed in ‘green-on-blue’ attack”
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-36239599
And, of course, I never claimed that “Someone’s” whitewash of evil was “hurting” my freedom of speech.

Wow you “really don’t care who shot who or who killed who”? …oh, but the more important issue is “respect for Muslims as a writer is a must”?
You’ve just demonstrated how messed-up your thinking is. In fact it’s *really* messed-up!

Any writer is free to insult any religion however why should they? Respect Christianity and Islam and Judaism and other religions equally. Why is my thinking messed up? Do you have the power to read my thoughts and know my mind inside out while you are just reading my post? If so, please tell me what exactly is messing down up in my thinking. I respect your opinion though and willing to accept it as a constructive criticism. Perhaps I can be a better person with your advice.

Why? Should we show equal respect to Democracy and Fascism?
The idea that we should have to “respect” the rape of children, the institution of sex slavery, and the brutality of Shari’ah law is *simply grotesque*.

We’re the World Police running a fake war to defend ourselves against an enemy reduced by imagination. Why is it always Americans who are dying or maimed. Where are the Swedes, the French, the Germans, the Brazilians, the Communist Chinese, the Italians, the Russians?
Sometimes the Brits and Danes show up, but that’s been a while since they’ve offered a hand.
And not only do we get near exclusive province on the dying part, we also get to foot the bill.
