The student’s mention of examples of means of Christianization in Jordan

The student : They are putting it in the newspaper, my Shaykh, a few days ago. How should I explain it? I drew two lines like this, circular, meaning approximately square... They call it a coupon. So, you take two of these pieces of paper from the newspaper and send it to a Christian office here, and they send you a Gospel. But if you send this, a paper comes to your address with the address written on it; it comes to your address. This is in a Christian newspaper, because here, my Shaykh, this hospital is doing it in Mafraq for intractable chest diseases. They are conducting interviews with them and putting it in the magazine that... The speech is clear, meaning that we here are supporting this hospital at the expense of America, Germany, Sweden, and the churches, in order to...

The Shaykh : Have you seen how the state is ending up?
The student : She herself, the one responsible, says about the hospital, "We treat for free." They said to her... They say, "You are calling to Christianity." She said, "We give them the Gospel, meaning the one who comes to us to be treated, we give him the Gospel and we talk to him, meaning... we are preaching." They said, "We talk to him and how he is." Okay... The area is Bedouin, and you are hearing them, you are hearing tapes of melodies from the Gospel in the Bedouin dialect. She said, "This is entertainment for them, so that from this, meaning from the patients, meaning it is strange speech."

The Shaykh : Which magazine is it?
The student : This is an Ikhwan magazine, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : An Ikhwan magazine.
The student : It is al-Rabita, an interview, meaning.

The Shaykh : Did they publish it as a warning or not?
The student : They published it, they published it as a warning.

The Shaykh : That is reasonable.
The student : They are publishing it as a warning, they are, but now the hospital has taken a position in the area, even all the areas... These chest diseases are expensive, my Shaykh, the medicine for them and the inhalers, and there people are treated for free from Irbid, from here and there, they go. And she said to her, "She needs to open a new branch that will be in the transport route to Aqaba for the Bedouin, this."

The Shaykh : This is how colonization has started in another way.
The student : Irbid, it was mentioned that Irbid, my Shaykh Abu Abdullah, has a hospital called the Pink Sisters on the road after the Saddam Mosque on the left. I mean, because of my relatives in Irbid, I go, meaning every period, and indirectly I hear from my sister and such, they say... Yes, by Allah, we went back to them with their straightforwardness and simplicity, they do not know the matter, by Allah we went back, by Allah my brother, that the nuns and such, we do not rest until we go to them, and that they are such, and facilities and medicines and such.
Another student: Childbirth, they are doing it, my Shaykh.
The student : Childbirth, may Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : Childbirth.
The student : A childbirth hospital, meaning a large one.
Another student: Meaning now, this sister of mine is telling me this speech, she is saturated, she does not know from where, and she raises for them, she does advertising for them, what, and she is not feeling, of course she is saying the reality and she does not have the background and the foresight that you are now sitting calling to this hospital and making people love it. Her neighbor, by Allah, today she gave birth, by Allah at the Greek hospital, they did not take [money] and it was cheap and medicines and such, so what is it, my Shaykh, but planting Christianity.
Another student: ... for free.
The student : For free, yes.
Another student: Here, childbirth at the Islamic hospital, they put a price for it, about 120 dinars.
