Assad slams ''fanatics'' in Bush administration, says Israel is
''terrorist state''
16-10-2003
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday described members of
President George W. Bush's administration as "fanatics" and
warmongers.
Assad told the 10th Islamic Summit Conference in Malaysia that the
September 2001 attacks on the United States "provided the opportunity
and pretext for a group of fanatics and ill-intentioned people to
attack human values and principles."
"Those fanatics revealed their brutal vision of human society and
started to market the principle of force instead of dialogue,
oppression instead of justices and racism instead of tolerance," the
Syrian leader said. "They even began to create an ugly illusionary
enemy which they called 'Islam', and made it appear as if it is Islam
while Islam is completely innocent of it."
"They added to our dictionaries a new term of which we had never heard
throughout history and that is ‘Islamic Terrorism’ with the aim was to
link terrorism to Islam," al Assad conveyed.
Regarding the Palestinian situation, he said that Israel is a
"terrorist state", which was established on terrorism. Therefore, he
said, the Palestinian resistance is a natural right and legitimate act
as a form of self-defence. (Albawaba.com)
