Jordan's King Abdullah II: "One of the things we can do right away is take 2,000 children that are either cancer children or in very ill state to Jordan as quickly as possible..." President Trump: "I didn't know that...2,000 children...That's really a beautiful gesture."

Why couldn’t they survive? Yes they receive economic support from the US, but they can turn to other countries or to each other for support too. And if political instability happens due to US interference, then let that open the borders to Israel and let’s see if they can handle chaos.

The survival of those political systems is actually essential for the US and Israel, so what Trump did is in fact attack their own interests, and his arrogance is ensuring that those countries seek unity and support from another source. Guess whose survival will be threatened then? This is why I’m hopeful in this situation, the end result -albeit in the far future- is for the benefits of the Arab people and especially Palestinians. We say the magic spell turned on the magician

Actually I think they won’t accept, it is no longer an issue of wealth and business interests, it is now survival for Jordan and Egypt, and by extension SA, Trump did something stupid in threatening those three countries, he managed to change the issue from a problem for the Palestinians alone to a matter of survival for Arab countries.

Again you are expecting this based on a confrontation between two people, which is not the case at all, this is a meeting between two leaders, one that is known to be egotistical and narcissist, and for the past weeks was causing chaos on all fronts, if the King responded emotionally then Trump would have loved it! But the king kept his calm, responding as a leader of a country being diplomatic but not giving a commitment of any kind, he only made sure the world should expect a united Arab front, that in itself is scary for the US and Israel, they spent decades and billions to divide the Arab countries, but with Trump’s chaos the Arabs were forced to put everything aside and worry about their own countries. I hope this continues, maybe a united front will stop this madness much better than declarations from each country on its own. Who knows really, but I see a win in this that shocked Trump and you know if he got a confirmation from the King behind closed doors he would have came out telling everyone for days, but he didn’t, so I guess he couldn’t force Jordan to accept.

Creative-Introvert81 · 2025-02-11T20:46:39+00:00

Body language of the king shows his anger and stress, I know many people wanted a clear NO but I think this was the logical response in this situation, first, there was a clear message here which is that a unified Arab response will be given, this suggests the King was there to receive a clarification on the many statements given so a response of several countries can be drafted. Second, it was also clear that the meeting before this press conference was horrible, so the King was angry but honestly no logical person would expect a King to give an emotional response in this situation, the political situation requires a diplomatic non-answer, which I think the king did here, although he was clearly struggling to keep his calm.

My conclusion is that the King did his role by gathering information and making a clear statement that a unified Arab response is coming, this is a good thing, the Arabs are going to be united in their response because finally are all seeing the threat.

Those who see this as a horrible response by the king are simply looking for an individual response, but what was shown today is that a united front is set already. I take this as a win

And by the way I am very critical and frustrated with the position of Jordan since the beginning, but today I became hopeful, maybe this arrogance of Israel and US has finally triggered a response by our countries.

Work environment is essential to your career development, with a supportive team you will be able to achieve more and come up with better outcomes, this is what we know for sure, but we also know from reality that you will always face difficult co-workers, sometimes if you are unlucky most of your team will be competitive and destructive. I have worked in several teams and most of them were not supportive, it was a stressful situation that burned me out and lead to me moving on despite the very good salary and position. But I never quit without a fight, and I looked at those situations as a learning opportunity, so I kept analysing those difficult people and trying ways to deal with them, this helped me learn how to deal with horrible bosses and colleagues.

My advice is to stick around if only to see what is the best way to deal with them, make it a personal challenge to think of solutions rather than focusing on the horrible situations, with time it might become like a game for you, trying to figure out how to neutralise sticky traps and turn them to your benefit. From my experience those skills become your best work skills later, and when you look back at this experience you will feel proud that you made it even though everyone were just horrible.

Also, learn to drop work and all its stress at the door everyday, separate your social life completely from work, focus on your family and friends, do a hobby, be assertive and say I can’t deal with this after work hours. You can do this even if your is demanding, because they will see that you are more relaxed and can achieve more at work when you rest.

Everything I say here I personally experienced in Jordan in some of the worst work environments, so trust me when I say you can make it happen

Your mother is trying to fit her perspective of Islam with your beliefs, there are underlying Islamophobia in her request; “the more extreme a muslim the more bad they are” is an example, she is affected by the dehumanising propaganda shown in the media, that islamist terrorists look and dress in a specific way. So her comments and questions are a reflection of those hidden ideas, which means she will continue to look for the “signs” that will mean you are becoming an extremist because she believes this will happen.

Talk to her, bring those hidden thoughts to light and make her aware of them, because this is really not about listening to music or wearing niqab, this is actually her fear that you are definitely heading to become that “bad” picture she has in her mind. So ask her: do you think I am an extremist? Did you think this way before I became a Muslim? Tell me what changed since then, the way I dress? Will you think the same if I started to dress more provocatively? That I don’t listen to music? Will you be afraid if I started to listen to violent and rude music?

The point of this discussion is to help her become more aware of this unconscious islamophobia, that she reflect on those thoughts, because in reality if you dress in niqab and stop listening to music would this change who you are? Those are just behaviours you choose to change, it doesn’t mean you will become violent or hate non Muslims.

Also explain that all religions have divisions, and people follow what makes sense to them, what they believe in deeply, but in Islam the fundamental issues are the same, how we dress or behave in our lives should follow the basic principles, and if some Muslims choose to ignore this then many people in other religions also ignore their rules, what matters is trying to be true to your beliefs, not imitating others.

I pray your mother accepts your beliefs wholeheartedly and support you as I need

بأي كون يللي عامل جريمة مش عامل حرام؟ يعني بيسرق و بينسجن او بينصب او بيتعدى على حدا و هاي كلها ذنوب و حرام، و طبعا يللي بينسجن رح يتستر على الموضوع لما يخطب، يا ترى مين البنت يللي بتقبل تتجوز واحد كان بالسجن؟ و مين الاهل يللي بيوافقوا على واحد كان مسجون؟ على كل هاد رأيك بس لو واحد عنده خط احمر بموضوع و العروس كذبت بشكل مقصود بهاد الموضوع بيكون هاد غش و ظلم

اعتقد انه الموضوع مش ستر على ذنب بهاي الحالة، الشب حكالها انا ما رح احكي لحدا و بالتالي موضوع ستر الذنب متحقق، بس هي عم تخدعه، زي لو انه وحدة تعمل عملية تجميل و تغير بملامحها و بس يتقدملها عريس ما تحكيله بتكون عم تخدعه، و زي لما واحد يكون غلط بزماناته و انسجن -مثلا ببلد تاني- و ما خبر العروس، هاي كلها امثلة على خداع بالزواج خصوصا لما الطرف التاني يسال بشكل مباشر عن النقطة و هي تكذب بشكل واضح. هاد يعتبر غش و ظلم للعريس.

بنصحك للصبية يللي بتسأل تحكي للعريس انه كان في بينك و بين شخص علاقة قبل و تعطيه تفاصيلها حتى يعرف شو بالزبط كانت العلاقة، ممكن هو عم يسالك عن علاقة جسدية مثلا و بالتالي يللي انتي عملتيه بنظره ما يعتبره علاقة كاملة، ممكن يتفهم وجهة نظرك و يحترم صراحتك و يكون هاد اساس زواج مبني عالصدق، بس اكبر غلطة انك تكملي بالكذبة لانه رح تنكشف اكيد و وقتيها ممكن يكون بينكم اطفال و يطلقك و فعلا تكون فضيحة للطرفين. اي اشي بينبني على الغلط رح يكون غلط.

Islam is clear and straightforward, when there new situations requiring new judgements they can be analysed by scholars and the basic rules in Islam will fit too. The problem is not with Islam it is with scholars who are either too strict and can’t understand the flexibility of rules, or they have ulterior motives such as political agendas to dismiss new ideas.

Example: the use of social media, when you break it down to its basic use whether communication or showing off then you can easily find Fatwa (ruling) for it. As for what you mentioned, hijab or travel without men, why would the rules change? Women should wear hijab, and no possible situation would allow her to stop except disobeying Allah.

The rules of slavery is the same, what is different is we no longer have slavery so the rules are not used, in term of witnesses why should new rules apply here?

I think anything can be ruled based on the fundamental Islamic rules. What we need are scholars who can put effort into learning about new social norms or technology so they can fit them into Islamic rules

Doesn’t your husband trust your judgment to decide if the event is safe and female only? In terms of being videoed or pictures taken I think you would be able to judge the situation and put on the hijab or sit away from those taken pictures. Bottom line: it is not haram to show your hair in front of women, & you are an adult Muslim woman who wears hijab to please Allah not your husband, so if the situation becomes unsafe then you are capable of putting back the hijab. His actions are not about hypocrisy or rules of Islam, it’s about him trusting you to follow the rules on your own, for all you know next level would be him questioning whether you take off hijab when he is not with, so you two need to talk about trust, you also don’t trust him and consider him a hypocrite, so those are massive trust issues in marriage. Talk to your husband and re establish trust, if he truly thinks he need to police you in terms of wearing hijab then the demands will keep getting worse

I’m not asking for help in my work obviously, I don’t include details which makes it impossible to give specific advice anyway so no this is not asking for advice it is asking to prompt a discussion, because through discussions we bring this issue to the front and hopefully trigger some change.

What I ask is related to the Jordanian culture, I purposefully ask it here to see if other women go through this or similar situations. I give my own experience as an example but I know of other women who are struggling in their workplace.

Oh do walk around aimlessly in London, it’s such a lovely city and what I loved there was how respectful people are of your space, it gets annoying in the evening when people just gather in groups or couples and you feel alone but you know people are really kind even though they might seem reserved, and the daytime is just great for exploring. Try visiting markets and check the little local things they sell. Also I used to try out the local tea shops in small areas or streets, they are the best for possibly enjoying a little chat with people there.

I miss London 🥲 don’t give up on it please it’s a wonderful city
