Mostly Muslims Reject Al Qaeda, The poll, which became part of the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project, that was held in the five Muslim-majority countries, namely Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Pakistan.

Opinion polls showed that 71 percent of respondents in Egypt have a negative view of Al Qaeda and only 21 percent have a favorable view of the movement.

In Jordan, 77 percent of respondents did not like Al Qaeda and only 15 percent who support the network.

The rest of 98 percent a negative view of the militant movement.

In Pakistan, 55 percent of respondents rejected Al Qaeda and only 13 percent in favor. However, the Pew poll acknowledge is not held in all regions of Pakistan.

Some of the areas inhabited by 18 per cent of the total population of Pakistan can not be surveyed because it was considered too dangerous for poll workers.

Changed drastically

Pew also stated, support to Al Qaeda has begun to shrink even before the movement’s leader, Osama bin Laden, was killed at the hands of U.S. Navy SEAL forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan, last year.

In Jordan, for example, about 61 percent of poll respondents in 2005 claimed to believe the leaders of Al Qaeda will do good. However, after the suicide bomb attacks on three hotels in Amman, Jordan, November of that year, public opinion immediately changed drastically and at the polls next year, only 24 percent of respondents who still support Al Qaeda.

The margin of error in polls in each state varies between 4.2 to 5.2 percentage points. Pew conducted a poll is late March to early April.

Pew added support to Al Qaeda also fallen sharply in Indonesia and Palestine

From being an horror; this loser doesn’t take a holiday.

Stephanie Flores; he did kill;

From the family, he received a $74,300 bill.

Van der Sloot wants less time in prison;

But, that will not be the judge’s decision.

He could have been sentenced to thirty years in jail;

I definitely think that in life; he fails.

He tried to bribe Holloway’s family for $250,000;

Which probably made many people scream and holler.

For his crime; he was sentenced to twenty-eight years;

That is a lot of time not to have any beers.

He has a friend named John Ludwick;

Who is probably just a big prick.

A lot of evidence is probably buried with his father;

Which, Van der Sloot; it may or may not bother.

His father, Paulus Van der Sloot had been arrested;

It’s a shame that he died with a lot of information digested.

Van der Sloot sued Flores’ father for 10 million dollars in cash;

Obviously, this man makes many decisions that are rash.

I hope that Van der Sloot dies behind bars;

And from the depths of the fiery pit of hell; he isn’t very far.

Nazca Lines in the Middle East, Air shots and satellite have revealed the existence of ‘wheel’ mysterious stone with higher numbers and older than the Nazca carving, found in countries such as Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.

This giant structure estimated 2,000 years old, but how the structure was built is still puzzling archaeologists and historians.

“In Jordan itself, we have a stone structure which is much more than the Nazca Lines, a much broader area diliputinya, and much older,” said David Kennedy, a professor of classics and ancient history from the University of Western Australia, told Live Science.

The Bedouins, the nomads are found in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Libya, Egypt, and Israel, calling such structures as ‘works of the old people’.

He explained that structure comes in many forms, some like ‘kite’, the structure of animals, some meandering rows of stones that seem random, and the other rectangular.

Jordan is now recovering in hospital.

The GCC’s aim is to enhance cooperation between member countries and they have been doing a good job. The GCC countries have cooperation in various fields such as military, science and technology, health, education and many other fields. Their headquarters is in Riyadh and they meet every year.

Just recently, the GCC has considered including Jordan and Morocco as their members.

This can be seen as an expansion of the GCC as a body. This is understandable as the GCC members have good cohesion and cooperation between themselves and naturally, they may feel the need to expand their domain and bring in more members in order to consolidate their powers.

There is a little confusion as to why Jordan and Morocco is being considered for membership of the GCC. After all, neither Jordan nor Morocco come at the Persian Gulf and neither have that much oil like the GCC does. Jordan borders Syria, Saudi Arabia and Israel while Morocco is at the far end of North Africa bordering countries like Tunisia and Libya.

Jordan has been trying since a long time in order to gain entry into the GCC and it is only now that the request is being considered. Since the establishment of the GCC, the body has been very exclusive in its membership. Though the 6 members of the GCC interact with other Arab countries like Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and others through the Arab League, the membership of the GCC has remained exclusive.

So of course, the entry of Jordan into the GCC is due to larger geo-strategic benefits to the GCC because after all, in international relations and diplomacy, there are no free lunches.

So how does the GCC benefit with Jordan being a member?

To begin with, Jordan is an exporter of minerals. With membership, they can have easier market access to the gulf markets and the Gulf countries can fuel more industrialization. This serves them because they know that their oil is running out soon and they need other industries to establish a source of income before the oil actually runs out.

Next, Jordan’s educational and health facilities are quite developed. This benefits the GCC countries well. Jordanian teachers can contribute to the educational systems in the GCC countries and also promote research and development. This is beneficial especially when it comes to health facilities. They can kick-start new sectors like biotechnology and other high tech industries. Research and Development can help the GCC grow and become the next hub of technology.

Jordan has considerable political clout in the neighbourhood. First of all, it borders the state of Israel and has a peace treaty with them. So in case the Arab League decides to revoke the blockade on Israel, then Jordan can act as a mediator and bring about good relations. Jordan is also a trusted country amongst the other Arab countries. Adding Jordan into the GCC will give the GCC countries more influence in the Arab League. Jordan also has a somewhat good reputation during the Arab Spring as we see how the King of Jordan agreed to political and economic reforms in the country and the Arab Spring hasn’t been so turbulent in Jordan.

Lastly, Jordan’s military power is very good. They are US allies and are entitled to military aid from the Americans. They have good training and good equipment and are known to be good fighters. The GCC has a standing agreement on the defence of the 6 gulf states known as ‘Peninsula Shield’. This means that in case one country is attacked by an external enemy, then the GCC states will protect that country.

The Peninsula Shield agreement was invoked by Bahrain in order to quell riots during the Arab Spring. As they invoked the agreement, 1500 troops from Saudi Arabia and 500 Policemen from UAE arrived in Bahrain to police the streets. Adding Jordan would mean a bigger and better force in case they were attacked. Since the Gulf countries consider Iran as a big threat, Jordan’s inclusion would give the Gulf states bigger and better protection from being invaded and dominated.

Thus we see how the inclusion of Jordan in the GCC benefits the body to a big extent.
