Al-Rawabdeh renews rejection to mosques as political platforms

The Jordanian Prime Minister Abdul Raouf al-Rawabdeh renewed his government's refusal to the use of mosques as political platforms, saying that he will firmly oppose it with whatever it takes.

He also said, "The factional platforms are opened for all causes and for all citizens but within the law."

The Jordanian authorities prevented by force a March on last Friday that was about to start from the large Husseini mosque in Amman to express solidarity with Hamas' leaders after speeches inside the mosque.
