Many people don’t realize how deeply Muslims and Christians live in Jordan. It’s a truly unique model of co-existence. In Karak, the lines between Christian and Muslim communities are practically invisible… they are united by generations of unity and shared history. Those trying to sow sectarian hatred and division in Jordan are playing a dangerous game. Jordan has no place for this poison,
We know, though, who is behind these sinister plots.
Today’s heinous crime against worshippers in Karak has devastated us all. This deep wound is borne by all Jordanians and the loss is not only felt by the village of Hmoud, but by each member of the larger Jordanian family.
Our hearts are with our people of Al Karak. May the martyrs rest in peace, may the injured make a speedy recovery, and may God protect Jordan and its people.
أتوجه بخالص التعازي وصادق المواساة لجلالة الملك عبد الله الثاني وشعب المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية الشقيقة في ضحايا الهجوم الإرهابي الغادر على إحدى الكنائس بمحافظة الكرك.
وإذ أعرب عن إدانة مصر الكاملة لهذه الأعمال الدنيئة التي تتنافى مع كافة القيم الإنسانيّة، فإنني أوكد وقوف مصر بجانب الأردن الشقيق في مواجهة هذا الحادث الآثم، وكافة صور العنف والإرهاب.
