So much for freedom of the press in Jordan
It did not last long before the Jordanian government pressured by extremist forces stepped in and ruined the image as one of very few arab nations that would allow freedom for the press.
Saturday the editor of al-Shihan, Jihad Momani, was arrested.
This was a direct result of the papers reprint of the 12 Mohammed-drawings that Jyllands-Posten had brought last september, a legal source in Jordan said.
The source also says that there currently is a policeinvestigation on the way against another weekly newspaper that also had printed the drawings.
It look to me very much as if Jordan is also trying to keep the conflict fueled by denying the papers any attempts of prsenting the facts in this case.
Fact is that if you would ask one of the people in an angry mob, he or she would probably not even be able to identify the real pictures from the faked spread across the arab world by the hatemonger imams of Denmark.
