All things of a Muslim are inviolable for another Muslim: his blood, his wealth and his honour.
Four people were killed and tens of others were injured in the riots following a brawl between two students at al-Hussein University in Ma’an. The incident was the worst in a series of disturbances that have recently blighted Jordanian universities and spilled off the campuses and into the streets, with the brawlers using stones, batons and even automatic weapons. The escalating wave of violence was remarkable; it is an extension of another violence being practised on a wider scale amongst members of society and it is triggered by disputes that soon turn into violent tribal-tinged confrontations, and extend to several villages and towns. This new situation stems without a shade of a doubt from the state’s policy of infesting society with the causes of these disputes and brawls.
Although the violence at universities emanates from the causes of violence in society, it is, however, the state’s policy vis-à- vis elementary and high education that has had a major impact on sowing the seeds of division. The curricula for the elementary education are by and large geared towards the so-called patriotic education, which confines the sense of loyalty and belonging to this regime and the concepts and values it relies upon for its existence. These are namely the concepts and values of the Kafir West which conspicuously contradict the concepts and values of Islam, the religion of this Ummah, notwithstanding the educational policies imposed upon this regime by the Kafir West to corrupt the education system and groom a generation of students devoid of any viewpoint towards life, save for the Kafir Western viewpoint with which the minds of our pupils are filled. A brief review of the education curricula and the styles of teaching would clearly reveal the scale of the tragedy that the Jordanian primary and high school education is experiencing. Now this policy’s chickens have come home to roost; specifically, a generation saturated with Western culture and devoid of Islamic culture, in addition to poor reading and writing skills, the policy of automatic promotion and the sabotaging of the educational and schooling process, by undermining the teacher’s personality in the eyes of the students.

Political Analysis
The Kurdish Issue between the Greater Kurdistan Project and the Regional Role of Turkey
On Thursday 21 March 2013, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Abdullah Ocalan, ordered his party’s fighters to cease fire and withdraw from Turkey to northern Iraq. This call came through the message read out by the deputy for the Peace and Democracy Party, Sırrl Süreyya Önder, during the Kurdish New Year celebrations in Diyarbakir. To quote from Ocalan’s message: “Let the guns be silenced and let politics dominate.” He added: "We have reached the stage where our armed elements need to retreat beyond the border. This is not an end. This is a new start." He described the stage by saying: “A new era starts when politics, instead of guns, comes to the forefront.” He stressed that “this is not a time of disagreements, clashes, insulting one another but alliance, solidarity, embracing each other and reconciliation.” The way had been paved for this historic announcement when on 13 March 2013, the PKK released eight Turkish nationals that it had been holding for two years in the Qandil mountains that stretch across northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey. A day later, the Turkish court of the city of Erzurum released 13 people who had been accused of PKK membership, and on 15 March 2013, the Istanbul court released another 7 also accused of PKK membership.

Answer to a Question
This letter is an answer to a question we received from one of the brothers who had been afflicted by the events in Syria and who are currently bewildered by the agonising reality that drives people to react impulsively rather than thinking reasonably. The letter answers the questions and the observations of the noble brother.
Dear brother, may Allah protect you and safeguard you; Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu.
We have received your letter and we have perceived the trials and tribulations, and the confusion you are experiencing. May Allah relieve your pain and the pain of the Muslims.
This is not the first time the Muslims are subjected to the fitnah (strife). Ever since the early years of Islam, and even before the departure of the Messenger of Allah (saw), the seeds of fitnah were sown; then it emerged in the shape of the wars of apostasy immediately after the departure of our noble Messenger (saw). And no sooner Ali (may Allah ennoble his face) assumed the Khilafah, than the Muslims fought each other during a fitnah in which thousands of Muslims were killed in the battles of al-Jamal and Siffin. The lands of the Muslims were blighted by successive strives and conflicts and many were confused about what to do since the Shari’ah rules forbid the blood of the Muslim on his Muslim brother except in specific situations.

Political Comment
The current “Israeli” attack on Gaza represents, on the surface, a severe test for Egypt’s new regime, with the aim of ascertaining the veracity of Mohammed Morsi’s declaration stipulating that “Egypt today is not the Egypt of yesterday.”
In fact, America aims to achieve a vital objective through this attack, namely the generating of a fresh framework for the relationship between Egypt and “Israel”, and the role of Egypt in the region, especially in respect of the manner in which the Palestinian issue should be embraced and to what extent. The Egyptian president, Mohammed Morsi, declared few hours after he had taken office that he was “in favour of reviewing the peace treaties that Egypt had signed with “Israel”. He said: “We will review all the agreements concluded between Egypt and “Israel”, Camp David and the others, in order to achieve the interests of Egypt and Palestine in the first instance.”

The Military Council and the Political Chaos in Egypt
The current events in Egypt reflect a genuine spat between the military council and the United States about the future of Egypt after the ousting of Hosni Mubarak’s regime. The US wants the political life to be under civilian control and the military to remain in their barracks to act as a safety valve and a guardian over the kufr values and “civil state”. The military, therefore, does not have the right to interfere in public affairs unless the interests of the United States are threatened. These interests are linked with the manner in which the country is going to be governed and how the Israel- Egypt peace treaty is going to be secured. To accomplish these objectives, America does not mind retaining some privileges for the military leaders. However, the military council continues to act in the way it used to before the “25 Feb Revolution”. Like the leaders of the Algerian military, the military council attempts to keep wielding power in public affairs and domestic politics from behind the scenes. It did not understand the nature of the plans of the new phase, which the United States has been executing since the so called ‘Arab Spring was ignited in the region. America is working towards satisfying the desire of the people to rule themselves by themselves, but according to the kufr thoughts and rules, without any interference by the military and without an explicit projection of the “Islamic” rulers’ collaboration with America. The clearest explanation of this conflict was indicated by the former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. After meeting with Field Marshal Muhammad Hussein Tantawi and other members of the military council last month, Carter expressed his doubts about the readiness of the military leaders to handover all authority to the newly elected parliament or the constitutional assembly that is expected to be chosen. In his conversation with the military rulers, Carter said, they repeatedly insisted that they foresaw only: “harmonious agreement” between the military and elected civilians. “When I say, ‘Suppose there is a strong difference of opinion, how will it be resolved?’ that always kind of creates a quandary,” he said. Still, Carter said he was optimistic that the outcome of negotiations would nonetheless constitute a major step towards what is called the civilian democracy. “I think it is probably going to be inevitable, and I don’t think it is going to be detrimental for the military to retain some special status,” he said.
