Well the bombings of three hotels and the death of some 56 people in Amman has caused people in the Jordanian capital to take to the street and denounce Zarqawi and his thugs. One didn't have to go far to hear an enormous outcry of of "Burn in hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi " amongst the folks in the street to notice that folks have grown tired of this tactic and feel that going to the street is their best avenue to show such disregard towards terrorism. Here a look at what USA Today had to say about this demonstration of people power:
The Amman protest was organized by Jordan's 14 professional and trade unions — made up of both hard-line Islamic groups and leftist political organizations — traditional critics of King Abdullah II's moderate, pro-Western policies.Now when folks that are the ones who generally refuse to go to the street to protest the actions of terrorists start taking to the streets to call out a folks like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi then you know that the terrorists have gone too far. Hopefully, more Muslims will decide that it's time to take a principled stand against the terrorists that continue to pervert Islam and their culture. Until you have a people's movement like the one that occurred in the streets of Amman, you will continue to see the terrorists killing more and more people. So stand up ya'll and take back your streets and countries from such thugs.
Protesters shouted, "Death to al-Zarqawi, the villain and the traitor!" Honking vehicles were decorated with Jordanian flags and posters of the king. A helicopter hovered overhead.
"We sacrifice our lives for you, Amman!" the protesters chanted.
Other rallies were held across the kingdom, including the Red Sea port of Aqaba, where attackers using Katyusha rockets narrowly missed a U.S. ship and killed a Jordanian soldier in August. Others were in al-Zarqawi's hometown of Zarqa and the southern city of Maan, which is a known hub for Muslim fundamentalists.
