Acts of terrorism and extremism aim to divide the Muslim world, said Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir.
As per reported in Al Arabiya News channel, Al-Jubeir on Wednesday at the conference of Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Kuwait said, “We have been committed to confronting the challenges of extremism and violence.”
“Terrorism, extremism and sectarianism aim to divide the Muslim world,” he added, citing the current conflict in Yemen as a “reflection of the suffering of the global Muslim community.”
Opening the meeting of OIC, Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah said: “We must take a serious stand on the sectarian malady that has been shaking the structure of our nation. This fanaticism is the most dangerous to the existence of our nation … We are all losers in this conflict, and the winner is the one who wants to inflame this destructive strife for own objectives.”
Regarding the Syrian crisis, Sheikh Sabah said the four-year-long war could “only be solved through diplomatic channels” as the humanitarian crisis escalates.
Over 50 Foreign Ministers attended the May 27-28 OIC meeting to form Islamic world’s strategy on combating terrorism, hate speech and violent extremism in a meeting.
