As reported in The Jerusalem Post, 4/12/13, 110 Jordanian parliamentarians out of a total of 120 petitioned for the release of the Muslim who murdered seven Israeli schoolgirls, injured 5 others and also a school teacher in 1997. The Muslim was Ahmed Daqamseh, a Jordanian Army Corporal. He was sentenced by a Jordanian military tribunal to life in prison at hard labor. He avoided the death penalty only because the tribunal determined he was mentally unstable.
This is the man who 91.7% of Jordanians now want freed, a man who has expressed no remorse for his actions. In 2004, he was recorded as saying, "if I could return to that moment, I would behave exactly the same way. Every day that passes, I grow srtonger in the belief that what I did was my duty."
In 2011, Jordanian Justice Minister Hussein Mjali called Daqamseh a hero and added that "if a Jew murdered Arabs, they (the Israelis) would build him a statue."
And, this is who 91.7 % of Jordanian parliamentarians now want freed!
Note 1: The majority of Jordanians are Palestinians.
Note 2: I have read elsewhere that the total Jordanian parliamentarians number 150, not 120.
That would mean that the 110 Jordanian parliamentarians favoring the release of a man who murdered 7-year old school girls numbers 73.3% of all Jordanians.
