Jordan's Islamists: "The Most Dangerous Agreement"

“This is one of the most dangerous agreements that affects the rights of citizens as well as the nation’s identity and values…This agreement, as well as similar American and Zionist efforts, seeks to steer people away from religion…Scholars, rulers and citizens must confront such efforts, which are aimed at destroying the Muslim family.” - Ibrahim Zeid Kilani, top legal scholar of the Islamic Action Front party, in a statement to the AFP on the the Jordanian government’s endorsement of a United Nations convention eliminating discrimination against women.
