ISIS Threatens to Invade Jordan, "Slaughter" King Abdullah
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - The terrorists who belong to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are planning to take their jihad to Jordan, Lebanon, Gaza and Sinai, sources close to the Islamic fundamentalists revealed this week. Jordanian political analyst Oraib al-Rantawi said the ISIS threat to move its fight to the kingdom was real and imminent. "We in Jordan cannot afford the luxury of just waiting and monitoring." ISIS terrorists see Jordan's Western-backed King Abdullah as an enemy of Islam and an infidel. They recently posted a video on YouTube in which they threatened to "slaughter" Abdullah. Some who appeared in the video were Jordanian citizens who tore up their passports and vowed to launch suicide attacks inside the kingdom.
