Amman Sit-in to Protest Pro-Zarqawi Deputies' Statements

360East, a Jordanian blog, announces that there will be a peaceful demonstration at the Parliament Building in Amman on Monday. It reports that "a-sit in will be held by the relatives of Amman bombing victims will be held today Monday at 11 am, to protest the ‘pro Zarqawi’ behavior of the four Islamic Action Front deputies."

Here in the US, it's important to realize that many in the Muslim and Arab communities are as offended by senseless violence and terrorism others in the world are. Many Jordanians particularly feel victimized by al-Zarqawi, along with many Muslims in Iraq.

[UPDATE: Here's a brief follow-up report on the demonstration.]
