Oxygen Should Not Be Provided to Daesh at Any Place

Two separate bomb attacks and incidents of stabbing in different U.S. cities resulted in 38 people getting injured and the whole country being placed on security high alert; one of the attackers was killed. Responsibility for the attack has been accepted by Daesh.*

Everyone agrees that Daesh is a terrorist organization, and there are no two opinions on this point. There are many countries that have suffered from its base activities, including Saudi Arabia (where Masjid an-Nabawi** was targeted), Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and France. The coalition of Western countries under the leadership of the U.S. not only calls Daesh a terrorist organization, but its members, Britain and France, have even bombarded the organization’s havens.

Despite the ceasefire accord between the U.S. and Russia adopted at the Security Council meeting, both countries directed harsh criticism at each other in the matter of the killing of Syrian soldiers.

Regarding Daesh, it is known that the organization accepts responsibility for all its acts of terrorism, wherever they occur. Also, despite the fact that everyone, including the U.S., is against it, the organization continues to carry out its activities. The biggest reason for this is the double standard underlying U.S. policies. Thus, the U.S. has undeclared unity with Daesh in the matter of Syria, which is why it ignores Daesh attacks in Syria, while condemning its activities in other places. If a terrorist organization gets relief at one place while being curbed at another, this will result in the kind of attacks that took place in the two U.S. cities. The U.S. needs to reexamine its manner of operation and refrain from providing oxygen to any terrorist organization at any place.

*Editor’s note: Daesh is an acronym for ISIS and its use is often a policy decision of the newspaper.

**Editor’s note: Masjid an-Nabawi is a mosque in Saudi Arabia, regarded as the second holiest site in Islam.
