Jordan.. Popular analysis of the meanings of carrying a pistol and military uniform in pictures of King Abdullah after the church attack in Karak

Footage of the Jordanian monarch, King Abdullah II, wearing military fatigues and carrying a weapon and a wallet with additional bullets, sparked interaction among activists on social media during his arrival in Karak Governorate after the attack that targeted a church. Account owner C Schmitz wrote: “Note the details: King Abdullah II, known as a master tactician, uses a professional holster that ensures the gun is securely attached, while providing additional ammunition magazines.

He (the king) is the type who will never be a victim... The owner of the Lionheart account commented in a post on the X platform (formerly Twitter) in which he said: “The presence of His Majesty King Abdullah.

The second is wearing a special operations uniform, a special operations pistol, and a holster of bullets, direct messages, especially after the Hammoud Church incident in Karak.. First: This appearance raised the morale of the army and public security: when soldiers and officers see their supreme commander wearing the same uniform as them, and carrying the same gun as them, they feel that the battle is his personal battle, and not orders from afar..

Raising the morale of the injured and the people of Karak: The injured person in the hospital is not visited by a king in a formal suit, but rather by a combat commander. This gives the impression: Your right will not be lost, and the entire country is behind you.

Cut rumors quickly: In church incidents, rumors of sectarian strife always emerge. The king himself quickly went to the field, and in military uniform, to stop the rumor immediately and unify the discourse..

A message of reassurance to Jordanian Christians: He tells them: You are not a minority that needs protection, you are part of the army and the state, and I, the army commander, came to protect your church myself.. A strong message of deterrence without many words: A picture alone is stronger than 100 statements.

The pistol and the quiver say: We are in a state of war on terrorism.” The author of the post continued, saying: “Second: The message from the pistol, the quiver, and the dress?

Special Operations Uniform: The King was a former Special Operations Commander. This dress means: I am not the king of protocol, I am a son of the army, and this is a military battle..

It means: I am ready to engage myself, and the response will be on the ground and immediate.. The quiver that holds pistol bullets: This is the most important.

A soldier does not carry a quiver of ammunition unless he expects a long fight. It means: We are not on a passing visit, we are ready for a continuous battle until the perpetrators of the attack and those behind them are eliminated.

The bullets are ready, and we will not strike with a statement, but rather with an iron hand, as His Majesty said...” He added: “The summary of the message addressed to Takfiri thought: The brief message is: The blood of Jordanians, Muslim or Christian, is a red line. Whoever shoots at a church, the King of Jordan will find himself in front of him in combat clothing, not in political clothing.”

The owner of the Bahrain Manwa account wrote: “The field visit of King Abdullah II, the brotherly king of Jordan, may God protect him and take care of him, to the injured in Karak to check on them in his military uniform at a somewhat sensitive time, and if anyone pays attention a little, he will notice that he is carrying his own weapon with him in the military uniform, which has connotations and messages directed to Jordan’s enemies in the first place... and this in itself, in our opinion, is a deep national message that goes beyond the meanings of condolence and psychological support for the injured and injured, and the message is that Jordan Its people are a red line, and whoever meets the Jordanians with bullets will be met with firmness and military deterrence...” The post continued: “The bullets of treachery will not undermine the unity and steadfastness of the Jordanians, as they will be met by the bullets of Jordanian defense and protection. The Jordanian readiness is always on alert to confront, dismantle, and eliminate crime. The security of the Jordanians is the subject of the King of Jordan’s personal concern, and their unity is his responsibility and priority.”

This is a message of firmness and solidarity presented by the King of Jordan, King Abdullah II, may God protect him and take care of him, to the Jordanians, and that he is with them and between them in moments of pain and difficulty, and that terrorism will not divide the ranks of the Jordanians or undermine their unity, and this is the humanitarian leadership and the era of the starving always.. May God protect the King of Jordan, its leadership, its people, its security and its safety.

For his part, the owner of the account, Hashem Amer, said: “The king is in military uniform now, visiting the injured in Karak.. This is a message of reassurance, as well as a warning to the terrorists of retribution and revenge..

The king will not tolerate and will not forgive the aggression against his children and family. The Jordanian Minister of the Interior, Mazen Al-Faraya, had announced that the operation that took place in a church in the Karak Governorate was “terrorist,” while the Jordanian Director of Public Security confirmed that the number of deaths reached 7 people, and 27 others were injured, in a press conference they held on Friday.
