Terrorism will not come to end without just solution to Arab-Israeli conflict
Egypt-Regional, Politics, 10/8/2001

In a meeting with the Egyptian community in Dubai and northern Emirates, Dr. Mustafa El-Fiqi Deputy Chairman of External Affairs committee of the Egypt People's Assembly asserted that the Arab and Islamic world is not open to US military strikes, as if we were motionless bodies.

Our skies are not vulnerable to anyone, whatever his military power is, due to the existence of international law, and world public opinion.

Excerpts:

-No Arab country backs or supports terrorism.

-Egypt has much suffered from terrorism, and therefore nobody is entitled to outbid Egypt in this respect.

-Egypt is against the punishment of an entire people because of a crime committed by an individual.

-Egypt is against haphazard striking of some regions, and against settlement of accounts under a double-standard policy.

-The Palestinian issue could gain or loose in the present circumstances, pursuant to the Arab's capacity to address a new media discourse.

-The Arab media should take advantage of the 11 September events, to realise peaceful settlement, and less biased US policy.

-Egypt has made a great deal of sacrifices and peace initiatives, in favor of the Arab and Islamic cause, and its national security as well.

-Egypt is directly targeted by Israel, and has entered in a long-term and unavoidable conflict, which it has to confront.

-Terrorism is the legitimate son of pressure, frustration, and hopelessness.

-We sympathize with the victims of the 11 September events.

-Ending terrorism cannot be realised by force alone, but through probing the causes and roots of its vicious circle.

-The stance of President Mubarak was unexpected by the USA and the world countries. It conforms to the feelings of the Egyptian people, Muslins as well as Christians.
