Jordan - King Declares War On Terror

Seems Bush isn't the only one declaring war on terror.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- Jordan's King Abdullah II has appointed his national security adviser as the new prime minister, giving him a mandate to launch an all-out war against Islamic militancy in the wake of this month's triple hotel blasts.

[...]

The king called for a "relentless war on all the Takfiri schools, which embrace extremism, backwardness, isolation and darkness and are fed on the ignorance and naivety of simple people."

He said fatwas, or religious edicts, issued by such groups constitute a "threat on the society and its interests."

Good for him.
