The Modern History of Jordan

. . .
Since the mid-seventh century, the land of Jordan has remained almost continuously in the hands of various Arab and Islamic dynasties. It seems that all of these Middle Eastern territories really had to fight for many years to earn their national identity.

. Finally Jordan was included into the classical civilizations of Greece, Rome, and Persia. I wish to see everyone, rather, trace his descent to the Arabian peninsula, from which we all originate. All the Arab countries are the country of every Arab. From the west Egypt extended its power and culture into Jordan, while the nomadic Nabateans built their empire in Jordan after coming from the south of the Arabian peninsula. Most of the urban civilizations of Jordan have been based in these fertile lands. The Emir told the people “I do not wish to see any among you identify themselves by geographical region. To the south and east there is very little rainfall and no rivers for irrigation. ” The Emir is trying to unite the Arab people and have them come together as one no matter what nation state that they come from. Therefore this area has always been more settled by farmers, villagers, and townspeople. Salibi points out very clearly that the Arab people need to consider themselves friends and brothers no matter where they come from.
