  • 9 years ago
Thousands of protesters took to the streets in the capital of Jordan to show support for their government’s fight against ISIL militants.

“Yes to punishment. Yes to the eradication to terrorism,” reportedly read some of the placards carried by demonstrators through the city of Amman.

Queen Rania joined the thousands after Friday prayers in a show of solidarity.

“We will take revenge for the killing of our pilot. The Arab Jordanian army and security forces are able to respond to ISIL in their homes,” one protester told euronews.

Another said: “This is a day to defend humanity against this crime which is practiced by the criminal organisation. Can you imagine burning a man in this way? Do you burn an animal, or birds? Our religion forbids this and our humanity denies it. Where are human rights? Where are the international organisations on this, where are the three main religions on this?”

“We will respond to ISIL very strongly, our young men and all of us under the King’s order
