Jordan declares war. . .

on Islamic extremists. “King Abdullah of Jordan has called for a relentless war on Muslim extremists in the wake of the suicide bombings in Amman earlier this month.”
The king wants Mr Bakhit to “not only deal with the security dimension, but also the ideological, cultural and political spheres to confront those who chose the path of destruction and sabotage to reach their goals”.
He also 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.”

” . . . which embrace extremism, backwardness, isolation and darkness and are fed on the ignorance and naivety of simple people.”
I can think of some widely discussed phenomena in this country which fit that description.
Yea, Chuck, I too am concerned about the public schools.
“. . . which embrace extremism, backwardness, isolation and darkness and are fed on the ignorance and naivety of simple people.”
Those words also apply to fundamentalist Christians and Jews.
