AMMAN — The
Islamic Action Front (IAF) strongly condemns the
approval to screen the film "
Barbie" in Jordan, citing explicit
scenes that defy the constitution and contradict the nation's values,
Arab identity, and Islamic principles. Despite its ban in other Arab and Islamic
countries, IAF demands a
ban on the film's screening and accountability for
permitting it.

IAF highlights the inconsistency of allowing
the film's display with Jordan's Islamic identity, embedded in Article 2 of the
constitution. Moreover, the party stresses that the film's content challenges
Jordanian family values, potentially undermining them, Jo24 reported.
Additionally, IAF points out that permitting
the film's screening contradicts the state's obligations under the
Child Rights Law, Article 8, subsection B. This mandates authorities to
prevent children's access to explicit content through policies and measures, including the power
to seize, suspend, or confiscate materials.
IAF asserts that the film's offensive content
violates the law, punishable for production and dissemination. The party urges
the
Fatwa Department,
Ministry of Awqaf, and relevant authorities to protect
Jordan's
Arab-Islamic values from these deviations.
