Natasha
Twal talks about a proposed plan to build the first Shia
mosque
in Jordan (
read).
While she did not strike any comparison between the faiths in Jordan,
the people who commented on it did.
I think there is really no reason to discuss the position of Sunni
Muslims regarding the matter, because simply, Jordan is not a "proper"
Islamic country -or Sunni for that matter. By proper I mean to the
extent of not allowing alcoholic drinks to be sold anywhere in the
country, for example.
Jordan
is very liberal and very far
from being the model for Islamic rule and behavior. Therefore, we can't
take
the position of the Jordanian government or the people -whether they
permit the Shia mosque or not- to represent the Sunni Islamic opinion
on the matter.
