Karak:Aqaba Prominent figures in Aqaba have condemned recent attacks on places of worship, highlighting these acts as crimes rejected on religious, moral, and national grounds. They emphasized that Jordan's unity serves as a strong defense against any attempts to create discord or undermine the nation's security and stability.
According to Jordan News Agency, Jordanians, including both Muslims and Christians, form a single family bound by brotherhood, neighborliness, shared history, and common destiny. Aqaba leaders stressed that any assault on places of worship violates the foundational human and religious values of Jordanian society and will not succeed in disrupting the nation's unity or weakening its social fabric.
Faris Jawazneh, Director of Awqaf in Aqaba, described the attack on a church in Hamoud village, Karak, as a "malicious" attempt to destabilize society and create division. He stated that Jordan, a model for coexistence, rejects all forms of extremism and terrorism, and protecting places of worship is a national and humanitarian duty that is not subject to compromise.
Mohammad Jahani, Mufti of Aqaba, reiterated that the bonds of coexistence among Jordanians are much stronger than any attempt to sow discord. He expressed that a wound to one community is a wound to all, urging increased awareness and national responsibility to prevent the spread of hatred and extremism.
Imad Amro, former head of the Aqaba Governorate Council, also commented on the issue, asserting that the crime will not intimidate Jordanians or fracture their unity, reaffirming the unbreakable Muslim-Christian unity in Jordan.
