Jordan' s King Abdullah on Isis This is our war

Matthew ChampionMar 02, 2015 The king of Jordan has said the conflict with Isis is "our war". In an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria - his first since the horrific murder of a Jordanian pilot - King Abdullah II said: It is our war. It has been for a long time. These are outlaws, in a way, of Islam, the minute they set up this irresponsible caliphate to try to expand their dominion over Muslims. He added: We have a moral responsibility to reach out to those Muslims to protect them and stop (Isis) before they reach our border. Isis captured Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot Moath al-Kasabeh in December after his plane came down during coalition air-strikes. In February it released a video showing the 29-year-old in a cage, being burned alive. King Adbullah told CNN he has not watched the video. "Many of us refused to see what I think is propaganda," he said. Follow this link to watch the full interview. More: [Remembering when the King of Jordan was on Star Trek]2Keep reading...Show less
