The International Affairs Society condemned the terrorist crime that targeted citizens in the church of Hamoud village in Karak Governorate, which resulted in martyrs and wounded.
In a statement today, Saturday, the Society affirmed that targeting any citizen because of their belief or religious affiliation constitutes an assault on all Jordanians, and a violation of the humanitarian principles and moral values that guarantee equality, freedom of worship, and safeguard human dignity.
It stressed that this crime cannot be separated from extremism and hate speech, as it involves a threat to civil peace and an attempt to undermine the cohesion of Jordanian society and its social fabric, emphasizing that it represents an assault on the homeland and its national unity.
The Society pointed out that Jordan is a state of citizenship that does not discriminate between its children, and that Muslims and Christians have contributed to building the nation and strengthening its national unity and social cohesion under the Hashemite leadership, and to consolidating the values of coexistence, love, harmony, the rule of law, and social justice.
It affirmed that upholding these values and national pillars represents the way to protect Jordan from terrorism and strife, safeguard its civilizational gains and achievements, and confront attempts to sow division and hatred among its people.
The Society extended its sincerest condolences and sympathy to the families of the martyrs and their relatives and the people of Karak Governorate, wishing a speedy recovery to the injured, and praying to God to shower the martyrs with His vast mercy, and to keep Jordan, under its Hashemite leadership and its people, united, cohesive, and resilient against conspiracies, extremism, and terrorism.
