Zarqawi must be feeling desperate to have attacked his own co-religionists in Jordan. It's backfiring. These kinds of comments are exactly what so many of us have been waiting to hear from the Arabic public:
A Lebanese professor named Abu Ziyad denounced the bombers saying they deserved summary justice:
"The United States of America and the United Nations should start thinking thoroughly about a better way against these fanatic people - do not send them to the judge, just kill them," said Abu Ziyad. "That is the only solution."
One Egyptian journalist, who identified himself as Mohanned, called the explosions, quote, "A dirty deed, a crime against all Arabs."
Egypt was the scene of several bloody suicide bombings in July at the tourist resort of Sharm el Sheikh.
Arab leaders in the Gulf and in Saudi Arabia expressed outrage, while officials from the Cairo-based Arab League also expressed stern condemnation.
Even Syria, which has had a history of prickly relations with Jordan, expressed "it's strongest possible condemnation," according to the official government daily al Ba'ath.
Many Lebanese expressed fear that such terror attacks would spread to their own country, but one bystander placed the fault squarely on Arab countries.
"Attacks like this will continue until all Arab countries cooperate in the war on terrorism," he said.
