Jordan expels Saudi Sheikh Salman al-Odeh one hour before he is scheduled to give a speech. Google reveals that the Sheikh is an Islamist who has been imprisoned by the Saudis for extremism, and likes to talk against Christian missionaries. >>The chairman of the Jordanian vocational trade union Hashem Ghareybah said that the "governor of Amman informed us that Sheikh al-Odeh is persona non grata because he is an extremist and an opposition member." Al-Ghareybah said that the decision taken by the Jordanian authorities to prevent al-Odeh from delivering his lecture was instructed by "foreign forces." Al-Ghareybah continued that the Jordanian authorities also prevented the Yemeni Sheikh Ahmad al-Asbahi from delivering his speech in the same festival.<< arabicnews.com
