AMMAN, April 16 (IslamOnline.net) - The families of Jordanian volunteers, who vowed their unflinching determination to pay the ultimate sacrifice in defending Iraq and Islam, voiced their misgivings that their sons who came home would suffer the same fate of Arab Afghans.

Speaking to IslamOnline.net, a number of those volunteers, whose number hit 300 people according to unofficial estimates, said the Jordanian police stripped them of their passports and asked them to “pass by every now and then to decide whether or not they would take them once again.”

“My brother is a father of three children and work in the ministry of waqf (religious endowments)…He would lose his job if he came back,” said one brother of a volunteer, who ro rest in Baghdad.

First Jordanian Martyr

Belal Mohammed Saleem, 23, is the first Jordanian volunteer who suffered martyrdom in Iraq. He went to Baghdad the second day after the U.S.-led war on Iraq had erupted.

He kissed his mother goodbye and gave her a piece of paper he wrote about the noble status of martyrs in the Hereafter.

“He did not even write his own will, but left this piece of paper in which he compiled a number of noble verses and Hadiths (the Prophet’s sayings) on martyrdom,” once his first of kin told IslamOnline.net.

Hearing about his martyrdom, his clan decided to receive “congratulations” and not condolences on the martyrdom of their beloved Saleem.

“Of course we are proud of him,” said some of his relatives.

“He graduated from the faculty of commerce in 2002. He was buried in Baghdad because we did not manage to bring his body home during the barbaric U.S. onslaughts on Iraq,” his brother said.

Fierce Battle in Saddam Airport

On bear in mind the fact that the invading troops are green with envy (against Islam and Arabs) and would down-tread all ethical and human values when dealing with those volunteers,” he told IslamOnline.net.

“The scenarios of Guantanamo prisoners and Arab Afghans could be easily repeated…Massacres could be committed against Arab volunteers,” he added.
