Czech FM Criticizes Gulf States Schizophrenic Policies on Terrorism Fighting

 PRAGUE- Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Lubomir Zaoralek has criticized the Schizophrenic Policies of some Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia regarding the fight against terrorism.

 In a statement to a TV talk show to be broadcast by the Czech “Actualni” website on Thursday, Zaoralek said “representatives of these Gulf countries sit with the Europeans at international conferences, dedicated to discuss ways of fighting terrorism and confronting the ISIL terrorist organization, but at the same time they continue financing terrorist groups in the region.”

He added that the problem is that some Arab countries are funding terrorist groups thereby contradicting the policy of putting an end to the spread of extremist thinking.

The Czech top diplomat believes that what is going on in the region is a “conflict on the essence and the real image of Islam.” He urged Arab and Islamic countries to dissociate Islam from the terrorist activities and crimes being committed under the name of religion.

“It is not possible to fight the ISIL terrorist organization while at the same time feed the sectarian conflict in the region,” Zaoralek said.

Earlier, some Czech academics stressed that Daesh terrorist organization is basically the product of the western policies in the region. They affirmed that the West has started to pay for its wrong policies particularly in Syria through the spillover of terrorism in Europe.
