Jordan Islamists denounce new law on preaching Khaleej Times ^ \| 9/26/06 khaleejtimes.com AMMAN - Jordan’s parliament has approved a law bringing Muslim preachers under government control despite objections from Islamist MPs, a parliamentary source said Tuesday. The law, due to be approved by the senate on Wednesday, covers Islamic sermons and classes in mosques and requires preachers and teachers to get written approval from the ministry of religious affairs. The government said the law was “necessary in the fight against terrorism”, the source said. Jordan’s 17 Islamist MPs abstained from voting on Sunday, slamming the law in a statement as “a step backward for public freedom and democracy in Jordan”. Key regional US-ally Jordan has also been pushing forward anti-terrorist legislation in the wake of last November’s suicide bombings of Amman hotels in which 60 people died. Those attacks were claimed by Jordanian-born Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Mussab Al Zarqawi who was subsequently killed in a US air raid.
