| And if you can't believe Islamists, who can you believe? |
The Islamic Bloc will extend its whole-hearted support to the government in fighting terrorism, says MP Khaled Al-Adwah.
| "At least until they start bumping off holy men..." |
"The bloc is determined to support Kuwait's leadership and not allow any misguided person endanger the security and stability of the country," he adds. Denying the accusations levelled by liberals that Islamists support terrorism, the MP said "Kuwait is a peaceful country and the Islamic Bloc wants to keep it this way. The whole society should fight terrorism to end this menace, which was expected especially after the entry of foreigners into the region and fall of a ruling regime in a neighbouring country." The toppling of Saddam Hussein has led to security fears in the region, he added.
| "Y'let them furriners in, they start sniffin' 'round our wimmin, you know the boyz ain't gonna stand fer it!" |
Stressing the importance of not exaggerating the recent security incidents in Kuwait, Al-Adwah said "these were isolated incidents committed by individuals who are under control."
| "I mean, it ain't like there's any such thing as an international terror network that's funded and directed by a handful of princes and holy men in a neighboring country. Is it?" |
The Kuwaiti society, which enjoys political freedom, fairness, and freedom of expression, is against such troublemakers, he continued. On the accusations of liberals, the lawmaker said "this is not the time to play any blame game and accuse the Islamic ideology of producing terrorism, especially since some liberal extremists allow violence to target European countries." He went on to say those who accuse the Islamic Bloc are aiming to weaken the solidarity of our society, adding "this bloc is a product of patriotism and national spirit." No MP will dare to bargain with the security of his country, Al-Adwah stressed. |
