Jordan Nightclubs

In downtown Jordan there are two night clubs named "Mecca" and "Medina". Those two cities are known to be the two most holy Islamic cities in the world. To most Islam is seen as a very conservative religion and the nightclub scene is not something that Islam would be considered to connect with Islam. Some people in Jordan are upset because the names are considered offensive to some, there are also complaints of noise and inappropriate behavior in the streets near the clubs. The engineer union in Jordan is expected to stage protests Tuesday, and in Jordan the engineer union is pretty important. It seems like these two night clubs are going to have a hard time staying around with the type of negative attention it is gathering in Jordan.
