Why are Jordanians banned from Residency Visa in Qatar? and why Qatar is propagating political conflicts to people that has no power over the politics?
The Qatar-based satellite channel Al-Jazeera had its license to operate in Jordan revoked by Information Minister Muhammad Adwan, who also barred staff from working for the station in the country. The move came after a guest on the August 7 broadcast of the debate program "Opposite Direction" criticized Jordan's relationship with Israel and poked fun at King Abdullah's limited knowledge of Arabic. According to international reports, Adwan accused the station of inciting "sedition" in Jordan and of "defaming" the royal family.
Station staff said they only learned about the closure after the official news agency Petra reported the minister's statements. In 1998, Al-Jazeera's Amman bureau was closed for several weeks after participants in another show criticized Jordan.
There have been a lot of deportations recently of non-GCC arabs, in particular those working in the government sector. Once RP renewal time is drawing near, they are getting notices of deportation due to "public interest" meaning none of your business. I have seen 2 such cases in the last few months.
Eco, Qatar says no such thing about Jazeera, it was formed by an Emiri decree and is subject to government audits and it has always been public knowledge that Al Jazeera is a government funded station.

Jordan times did lot of mud slinging

There is a theory that Jazeerah is actually the tool of Israel.. But that's another story :)
Eco: What has Jazeerah got to do with the Jordanian issue ?

and Qatar says Jazeera is independent, private sector channel
I would imagine it is done to force the countries "politicians" to re-think their policies?
