Biography
[edit]He is from Irbid.
He was arrested on April 15, 2011, during the 2011–12 Jordanian protests, during which he had attended a protest in Zarqa. He was later released.[1]
On 30 October 2012, he told the BBC that "jihad in Syria is obligatory for any able Muslim in order to help his brothers there."[2]
While in prison in September 2013, Tahawi criticized the Jordanian legal system. In a letter, he told the Al-Nour Party in Egypt to not “trade God’s law for the law of the world."[1]
Shortly after Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi was released from prison in June 2014[3] he sharply criticized the Islamic State. Abu Muhammad al-Tahawi expressed neutral position on dispute between Nusra Front and Islamic State. [4]
But on September 30, 2014, while they were both imprisoned, he and Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi issued a statement calling on Abu Qatada to cease his criticism of the Islamic State.[5]
