Gargash: No Tolerance for Extremism or Its Rhetoric

Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the president of the United Arab Emirates, warned that the region’s struggle against extremism is continuing and that the threat has not passed.

Gargash said there must be no tolerance for extremism and no leniency toward the rhetoric that promotes it, stressing that the confrontation remains ongoing.

He warned that using hate speech to justify terrorism is itself part of the danger, drawing attention to the language that seeks to excuse terrorist violence.

Gargash described the latest terrorist attack as a fresh warning that the fight is not over. The summary of his remarks did not identify the attack or specify where it took place.
