Tumbling down
Does this mean that we will start seeing Jordanian bloggers getting jailed? Or that blogs will start getting blocked right and left? Or what?
Wow.

You are disgusting me by these comments. You represent only yourself and other idiots. These people who are described as un-responsible people; they welcome our brothers from Palestine and Iraq and make Jordan safe.
However I am not happy with government’s decision to monitor electronic newspapers but it should be a law to protect our values and traditions from computer users who are influenced from western and un-Islamic views.

There will be no restrictions on press freedom - King

DEAD SEA (JT) - His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday reiterated that there would be no restrictions on press freedom in the Kingdom.
Attending an iftar banquet held by the Jordan Press Association (JPA) at the King Hussein Convention Centre on the shores of the Dead Sea, the Monarch expressed pride in the Jordanian press and workers in the field, pinpointing the huge responsibilities media people shoulder.
King Abdullah said at the gathering, which was attended by 500 JPA members, that both the state and independent media have a role in upgrading professional standards and supporting young journalists as well as providing them with training opportunities.
JPA President Tareq Momani thanked King Abdullah for his support for the media, stressing that the association is keen “to ensure that the press in Jordan would be as His Majesty wants it, a crystal-clear mirror honestly reflecting” developments in the country.
In his address, Momani also emphasised that the Jordanian press remains keen “to maintain responsible freedom, protect the Kingdom’s interests, be the eyes and ears of the people informing them of the truth, and a debate forum that respects all views”.
Momani paid tribute to the King’s support for the association’s efforts to have new headquarters, housing a training centre and a press club. The JPA’s new premises are expected to open within months.
He also highlighted some of the JPA needs such as increasing the number of beneficiaries from a housing project.
After the iftar, the King honoured winners of the King Hussein Award for Excellence in Journalism.
The winners were: Khalid Mahadeen for best opinion article, Mohammad Abu Areedah for best investigative report, Riham Fakhouri and Rakan Saeideh who shared the award for best news story, and Yousef Mashaqbeh for best TV report.
The King also presented token gifts of appreciation to veteran media workers, who have been in the profession for over 25 years. They included Jordan Press Foundation Director General Nader Horani, Amina Tayeh, Jumaa Shawabkeh, Abdul Hafeeth Abu Qaoud, Ahmad Theiban, and Hani Nassrallah, in addition to Momani.

Thank you Hussam for assuring me that I will be safe and you protect me and other.
.
I am not against the good things in other cultures, but I dislike who try to force us to adopt different life, Thanks god this will not be appeared in rural areas because peopler there still stick to our culture and tradition and we need to protect them .

Ahmad, you still want to protect them from words? don’t you agree the only one who is forcing is the one who is hiding any different choice? so arent you now forcing? If you are sure you have the best choice why would you hide the other choice? dont you believe every individual has the right to choose what he believes is the right thing and still has the same right in his country as much as you? how much are you sure that you can make a better choice for him than him? you still want to protect people from hearing opinions which are against your believes? are you giving them their rights by preventing them from any knowledge?

Hussam, do you reckon as nation ready to have the right to choose what we like. I. I think (only my humble opinion) that we are not fit for this step. It took ages in USA and Europe to develop their own systems and they paid wars for that. In Jordan, I will give an example, 87 % of our women justify when men hit their wives because of salty meal .this example and bad habits force us to ask question are we ready to have right to choose
We suffer from poverty of money and knowledge, lack of communicating with other culture and have get enemies who want to destroy us.Governments should act to protect our history and culture by imposing new laws. The question is here, do we trust our Governments and who are in charge If we look around us and you can see we are the best country in this region of world comparing with other regimes.
We are different from other cultures, because they always use ‘I’ word in every thing , but’ we’ word ise useed in our life .
I don’t care about right of one person if that will disturb the system fro whole nation and it should be stopped

ok we protect our culture and ourselves, but then what ? do we keep protecting ourselves forever while the whole world evolves around us? you said the systems in America and Europe took ages to develop and they paid a price for it, and you are right. So the question is are we really willing to pay a price ourselves? or just hide our heads in the sand and pretend everything’s okay?
