King Abdullah II of Jordan is giving an absolutely incredible speech.

He states, "...the differences between us is miniscule compared to the values we share."  

"Since when is fear and intimidation become the qualities of God?"

Moderation does not mean abandoning all values to allow danger to our countries and peoples? 

He states Jerusalem is an interest to Arab nations as well. 

He states the United Nations creates opportunity especially to young people. It also finds solutions to dangerous conflict. 

The refugees. Jordan's population is 20 percent refugees. I don't know how that small country can carry such a burden,but, it does and it does it with determination and pride. Evidently, Jordan and Lebanon has been carrying the majority of burden of the refugees for the past four years. 

The King is calling for the shared prosperity of peace. He lost a fighter jet pilot to Daesh. It did not harden him. He still embraces peace, prosperity and a growing opportunity of the young people of the Middle East.
