The US is unleashing a war of "terror" against all Muslims and the threat to attack Iraq marks the beginning of a wider campaign against Arabs, Yemen's parliament speaker said in remarks published on Sunday. 

 

"America claims to be fighting terror but is practicing it ... The war it is launching is a crusader war" against all Arabs and Muslims, Sheikh Abdullah al-Ahmar told Okaz newspaper. 

 

"America is showing open hostility to all Arab and Muslim regimes and states, including the kingdom (Saudi Arabia) ... American hostility ... is targeting everything Islamic," Ahmar conveyed. 

 

This has created a feeling of hatred towards the US among Arabs and Muslims, as a result of American hostility and double-standard policies in the Middle East region, he added. 

 

Moreover, Ahmar warned that the future would be "dark and bad" for all Arabs and Muslims if Washington launched an attack against Baghdad. 

 

"America will not limit its campaign to Iraq. It will be just the beginning and war will then be extended to all Arab countries." (Albawaba.com)
