When it comes to squashing radical Islamic nonsense, it doesn’t get more awesome or effective than King Abdullah of Jordan.
Abdullah has been known for standing up to radical Muslims who seek to terrorize his people. For example, he completely obliterated members of the Islamic State group for burning one of his pilots alive in a cage in early 2015.
More recently, the
king’s administration shut down the country’s Muslim
Brotherhood headquarters for failing to comply with new government
requirements.
The government claimed that the
group had not been “playing by the rules” in accordance with laws
regarding political groups, following similar initiatives taken
in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, according to The New York Times.
Turmoil has racked the group in
recent years as rifts developed, internally, between moderate members
and those inclined to be more militant in their challenges against the
government.
The former deputy party leader
of the country’s Muslim Brotherhood, Nimer Assaf, argued that the
closing of the headquarters was “a dangerous step, because this group
was against terrorism.”
However, the group has been
widely recognized as a sponsor of terrorist groups, and it has actively
worked to undermine authority in favor of a more Islamic-centered
political system.
One of the Brotherhood’s
strongest clashes with the Jordanian government came when the country
singed a peace agreement with Israel — something the group adamantly
opposed and held frequent protests against.
With instability in that region
of the world on the rise due to radical Islam, it’s not hard to see why
the Jordanian government would be skeptical of the group’s activities.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own leader stand up against Islamic extremism?
Instead, our president essentially paved the way
for the Muslim Brotherhood to assume control in Egypt, which led to
extreme persecution of Christians and other non-Muslims in that part of
the world.
