Arabs urge Qatar to accept 6 principles to combat extremism
[DAWN] Four Arab nations that cut ties with Qatar...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... urged the tiny Gulf nation on Tuesday to commit to six principles on combating extremism and terrorism, and to negotiate a plan with specific measures for implementing the principles in a step that could pave the way for early resolution of the crisis. Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Bahrain broke diplomatic relations with Qatar in early June, alleging that the state supports terrorist and holy warrior groups ─ a charge that Qatar has rejected. They initially made 13 demands, which were also dismissed by Qatar. Saudi Arabia's United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... (UN) Ambassador Abdallah al-Mouallimi, in a briefing for a group of UN correspondents, said that the four nations are now committed to the six principles agreed to by their foreign ministers at a meeting in Cairo on July 5. The nations hope that Qatar will support them as well. The principles include commitments to combat extremism and terrorism, prevent financing and safe havens for such groups, and suspend all acts of provocation and speeches that incite hatred or violence. Al-Mouallimi said the four-nation quartet thinks it "should be easy for the Qataris to accept" the six principles. He stressed that implementation and monitoring must be "essential components," and "there will be no compromise when it comes to principles." However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... he said that both sides can talk about details of "the tactics" and "the tools" to implement the principles "and that's where we can have discussion and compromise."
