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.
