More on the point raised in the previous post. Unless you go to the Washington Times or even Al-Jazeera, you have no idea that 100,000-200,000 Jordanians (this in a country with only 5 million people to begin with) went to the streets to protest against Al-Qaeda in general and al-Zarqawi more specifically.

"I came specifically to say to those terrorists and al-Zarqawi that we are all united against them. We do not want them on our land," said Ghazi al-Hajjaj, 43, who journeyed from Tafila, 183km south of Amman, to attend the rally.

Palestinians from Jordan's 13 refugee camps also took part in the protest.

In al-Zarqawi's hometown of Zarqa, 27km northeast of Amman, dozens of angry members of his al-Khalayleh tribe held a rally, pledging allegiance to King Abdullah II and denouncing their infamous son.

"If my son was a terrorist, I wouldn't hesitate to kill him," said Musa al-Khalayleh, who said he spoke on behalf of the tribe.

Tens if not hundreds of thousands of Arabs protesting against an enemy that we're at war against and neither the Washington Post, LA Times or CNN has thought this important enough to waste precious internet space.
