MP and terror cheerleader Khalil Attieh |
The prayer was held as the House of representatives session opened.
MP Khalil Attieh requested his fellow representatives to recite the Fatiha for the "spirit of the heroes."
The Fatiha is the first chapter of the Koran, recited on important occasions.
Attieh further declared that the murders were a "natural reaction to the occupation crimes against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinians."
In addition, MP Mohammed Al-Qatathh of the House of Representatives issued a statement to the assembly condemning the "Zionist attack on Jerusalem and its people" in the wake of "the heroic operation" on the synagogue in Har Nof.
Moreover, a Jordanian clan opened up a mourning tent in Jordan's capital in honor of the terrorists.
Earlier in the day the Jordanian minister of media affairs pretended to condemn the attacks but only issued a vague statement that the government of Jordan "condemns the targeting of civilians, and denounce all acts of violence and terrorism against civilians, no matter who or why it is done." The condemnation was not nearly as specific as the honor for the terrorists given in Parliament.
Perhaps the US State Department should be asked to comment on how our ally's representatives praise terror attacks.
