Jordan Islamists slam terrorism in Iraq
Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood Wednesday denounced terrorist acts targeting Iraqi civilians and kidnapping of foreigner journalists and workers. Brotherhood leader Abdel Majid Thuneibat said, however, the Iraqi people have a legitimate and religious right to resist foreign occupation by all means, including military. | ...."It's your duty to kill the infidels, and anyone helping them, and people who look at you funny..." |
"We reject terrorist acts targeting civilians and foreign journalists and humanitarian workers in Iraq," Thuneibat told reporters.
| "Don't you know they're all on your side, the journalists, I mean.." |
He said many criminal acts have been falsely attributed to the Iraqi resistance, such as terrorist attacks against civilians, and "these acts are strongly denounced by the Muslim Brotherhood."
Thuneibat's comments were seen as a response to accusations by Iraqi Shiite leaders that a suicide attack that killed 100 people in Hulla last month was carried out by a Jordanian identified as Raed Banna. | "He wasn't really a Jordanian, or a islamist either. We're all a peaceful sort, trust me.." |
