Jordanian authorities have arrested an Islamic preacher for inciting hatred against the regime on Facebook, and ordered him held in preventive detention for 15 days, a court official said Tuesday.

Eyad Qunaibi was detained Monday night after posting a piece entitled “Jordan heading for the abyss”, which criticized Amman’s ties with neighboring Israel, as well as the westernisation of Jordanian society.

Qunaibi, who was born in Kuwait in 1975, holds a doctorate in pharmacology from the University of Houston in the United States.

Comment by Sheikh Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi:-

“If Dr. Eyad Qunaibi was in one of the nations which appreciated scholars, he would have been assigned the highest scholarly positions. Good manners, trustworthiness, and good character, in addition to scientific/scholarly excellence and academic distinction which he is known for amongst everyone who knows him.”
