Al-Zarqawi's hometown torn over bombings

This is the ANIMAL who is behind all the
attacks on christianity and humans!
Is history repeting itself (The Inquisition?)


ZARQA, Jordan - In this rundown industrial town where
the al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was born,
residents expressed anger, skepticism and dismay
Saturday that one of their own could be behind Amman's
triple bombings that killed 57 people, mostly Arabs and
Muslims.
"If there were still any people with any sympathy left for
al-Zarqawi, it's gone now. It has backfired on him,"
said Zuheir Najjar, 45. "What does an attack on a wedding
with women and children have to do with fighting the
Americans?"
Al-Zarqawi's group, al-Qaida in Iraq, sought in a Web
statement to justify the attacks, accusing Jordan's government
of launching a war on Islam and supporting the U.S. presence
in Iraq.
But in the desert town of Zarqa, 15 miles northeast of the
capital Amman, many regarded Wednesday's bloody attacks
as a barbaric act that had nothing to do with Islam.
"Any person who would do such an act must be considered a
heretic," said Abu Ibrahim, a 56-year-old merchant standing
outside his shop, several hundred yards from al-Zarqawi's
high-walled house, where his relatives still live.
A small light was on at al-Zarqawi's two-story family home
and shoes were seen at the doorstep, but nobody answered
reporters who came knocking on their door Saturday.
Close by, neighbors sat warming themselves around a metal
bin filled with flaming coals, drinking tea and coffee and
discussing politics.
Some voiced anger of al-Zarqawi's attack on fellow
Jordanians, but others were unsure that he was involved
at all, saying it could have been a bogus claim.
Others blamed Israel, which despite its 1994 peace treaty
with Jordan is still seen as a pariah by many here, who
trace their roots back to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian
territories.
"I don't even know if the man is still alive or not," Abed
el-Momany said of al-Zarqawi. "I would not discount the
Israeli Mossad. Israel is the worm in the Arab world," he
added.
Ayman Tawalby, sitting cross legged on the ground and
stroking his Osama bin Laden-style beard, said he
opposed any terrorist attacks inside Jordan.
"I support the resistance against the Americans in Iraq
and against the Israelis everywhere," said the unemployed
47-year-old. "Those are our enemies. But I don't support
bombing innocent civilians."
In the town's center, Nabil Daoud said he supported
bin Laden when he fought the Soviets and, later, the
Americans in Afghanistan, just like he backed
al-Zarqawi's insurgency against the U.S.-led occupation
in Iraq.
"But when they started targeting Muslims, I stopped
sympathizing with them," said Daoud, who is in his early
20s. "I don't understand it anymore."
