The US is declaring a war of terror against all Muslims and the threat to invade Iraq ushers a start of a broader campaign against Arabs, Yemen’s parliament speaker remarked Sunday.
“America claims to be fighting terror but is practicing it … The war it is launching is a crusader war” against all Arabs and Muslims, Sheikh Abdullah al-Ahmar told Okaz newspaper.
“America is demonstrating open hostility to all Arab and Muslim countries, the kingdom Saudi Arabia included. … American hostility … is targeting everything Islamic,” al-Ahmar added.
Sheikh al-Ahmar also said this hostile policy has created among Arabs and Muslims a feeling of hatred towards the US and and as a result of its double-standard policies in the Middle East.
Moreover, al-Ahmar warned that the future would be “dark and bad” for all Arabs and Muslims if Washington launched an attack against Baghdad. He added that the war will spread to all Arab countries.
