JORDAN: FATWA ISSUED AGAINST JOINING US-LEAD PEACE MISSIONS

(ANSAmed) – AMMAN, DECEMBER 13 – The influential Islamist movement issued a religious decree today against participation of Jordanian forces in peace missions lead by the US forces around the world.

The group said joining American forces in their military presence in Afghanistan and Sudan is religiously taboo, a verdict that will likely cause controversy in this Muslim nation.

”Fighting alongside the Americans means supporting non-Muslims against Muslims, this is haram (taboo) and those who do it can consider themselves non-Muslims,” said the group in a statement made available to ANSAmed. The Islamist group said support should be directed to resistance in Afghanistan and other parts where fighting against American forces takes place and called on soldiers to disobey their leaders in this regard.
