Muslim Brotherhood: al-Nassour abuses Sharia

Jordan Brotherhood disappointed by al-Nassour's conformity Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood criticised King Abdullah II and his Prime Minister Abdullah al-Nassour for abusing Islamic Sharia Law. Muslim Brotherhood politician Zaki Bani Arshid also criticised the election law:”We boycotted last year's elections. They are not elections but a political game."
Arshid said when al-Nassour was elected, his organisation was hopeful for his success but instead, he said, they were disappointed by al-Nassour's conformity to the status quo.
He attacked Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Gouda by saying: "instead of performing his duties, he was busy counting the heads of Brotherhood numbers in the October 5 demonstrations. He asked us to interfere with Egypt's relations and when we did, he attacked us in the media."
Dr Mohammed Abu Fares, a senior Muslim Brotherhood official said PM al-Nassour violated Islamic Sharia when he committed to the UN's Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
"Al-Nassour agreement to CEDAW is against Islamic Sharia and against Article 2 of the Jordanian constitution," adding that, "CEDAW is a policy imported from the West which is against our Islamic values."
He said the Muslim Brotherhood will hold a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the implications of al-Nassour's acceptance of the CEDAW agreement.
Jordan signed the CEDAW agreement consisting of 16 articles in 1992. In July 1997 the policies were officially enshrined in Jordanian law.
