Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood on Tuesday condemned the army's dawn raid on Lal Masjid in Islamabad, describing the assault as dangerous and unprecedented. "The movement condemns the killings and violation of the mosque's sanctity," Salem Falahat, leader of the country's largest opposition grouping, told AFP.
"Pakistan undermined the lives of innocent people, which is dangerous and unprecedented. The government should have given more time to the besieged people inside the mosque." Falahat accused Pakistan of "trying to win the satisfaction of the United States."
"Pakistan should reject external meddling in its affairs under the pretext of fighting terrorism," he said. Jordan's powerful Islamic Action Front (IAF), the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, said the "way Pakistan dealt with the problem was wrong. "The use of military solutions will lead to more unrest. The issue should have been solved through dialogue," IAF secretary general Zaki Bani Rsheid told AFP.
