Jordan is resilient against terrorism… and its unity is stronger than the bullets of the hateful

That was not a unique personal experience, but a microcosm of the Jordan we knew and lived in; a homeland where Muslim and Christian shared the land, history, and destiny, shared joys and sorrows, and defended one homeland together. That is why the brotherhood between the crescent and the cross in Jordan is not a slogan repeated in speeches, but a daily life created by sincere neighborliness and shared stances, and entrenched by successive generations.

Hence, the bullets that target a Jordanian do not ask about their religion or origin, but target all of Jordan; its security, its unity, and its humanitarian model. Whoever thinks that a treacherous bullet can tear this fabric does not know Jordan and does not know the Jordanians.

Every time Jordan proves its ability to protect its security and stability, the solidity of this homeland and the cohesion of its people are confirmed, as they have maintained their national unity despite the challenges, held onto their trust in their leadership and state institutions, and made their awareness and solidarity a fortress against attempts to destabilize the country.

Jordan has faced dangerous challenges throughout its journey, but it has emerged from them stronger and more solid. The secret to this lies not only in the strength of its security and military institutions, but in the mutual trust between the leadership and the people, and in the Jordanians' awareness that protecting the homeland is a collective responsibility that does not accept compromise.

Terrorism tries with its treacherous bullets to undermine Jordan's stability and to sow fear and strife among its people, but it is ignorant of a firm truth: that this homeland was not built on fear, and that its unity is not a fleeting slogan, but a national covenant forged by Jordanians with their awareness and sacrifices, and entrenched by the wise Hashemite leadership for more than a hundred years.

Terrorism will not achieve its goal, for every attempt to sow strife makes Jordanians more cohesive and pushes them to rally further around their state, leadership, armed forces, and security services. When a mosque is targeted, the Christian stands to defend it, and when a church is targeted, the Muslim stands by his brother's side; because both realize that the true target is Jordan and its national unity.

From here, Jordanians stand behind His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II, affirming that Jordan's security and stability are not a field for testing the illusions of terrorists or implementing their agendas. They also stand by the Jordanian Armed Forces and security services that make sacrifices in defense of the homeland and its people.

This popular and official rallying confirms that Jordan does not face terrorism with its security and military capabilities alone, but with a collective national will, a cohesive social fabric, and a firm belief that difference does not affect the unity of destiny, and that protecting the homeland is a responsibility shared by everyone.

Jordan, with its Hashemite leadership and conscious people, will remain resilient against terrorism, its unity will remain stronger than bullets, and the brotherhood between the crescent and the cross will remain a wall before which the schemes of strife and hatred shatter. As for the terrorists and those behind them, they will reap nothing but shame and defeat; because Jordanians, no matter how they differ in opinion, become one heart, one voice, and one flag when their homeland is targeted.

Jordan will not be shaken by a treacherous bullet, and it will not be broken by a hateful conspiracy; for whoever tries to tamper with its security will find before them a cohesive people, an army, security services, and national institutions that enjoy their trust, and a Hashemite leadership around which Jordanians rally. Jordan will remain stronger than terrorism, more loyal to the sacrifices of its people, and more enduring than all the bullets of hatred and strife.
