Certainly, the terrorism practiced by the extremist groups in the name of Islam causes a serious harm to the interests of the Muslims in general and to their relationship with others in the international community and the contemporary human civilization. Where these groups are trying to impose its guardianship on the truth and freedom, speaking in the name of God, and pretending the protection of his religion through the legalization of murder, waste of lives, bloodshed, confiscation of human right from life, terrorizing people and the provocation of hatred against the different other and what results from the direct threat to the social ladder on the level of every Islamic country, international security and peace in the human world, general .What is surprising is that after every terrorist crime committed by extremists in the name of religion, we discover a worthy truth to meditate. That is the dangers of these terrorist crimes do not only threaten the right of the human to life, but extends to include religion. Where the spread and practice of such perverted ideas and defending them or finding excuses to justify them to distort the image of Islam and distort his noble Islamic message. But as such, Islam is as clear as the sun and does not need a statement that its message is the highest and holiest in existence.

Yemen must focus its attention on economic development as part of the fight against terrorism and the terrorists. It has come a long way in that, including large political, economic, administrative, and financial reforms. Also, it has followed the gradual progress in the implementation of the reform programs and the economic programs. The Yemeni citizen has started harvesting the fruit of that in Yemen, which achieves its results firmly. Yemen, since very early times and before the events of September 11, has been exposed to many terrorist attacks, including the attack on the Americans in one of their country’s ports and the kidnapping of some foreign tourists. This was due to the very early and quick war against terrorism. Yemen has strengthened its cooperation with the entire international community to confront this serious threat to international stability and security from this international phenomenon. It has taken all the procedures and the steps to combat this very serious and severe phenomenon and the elimination of its very negative effects on the evolution as well as the growth path and development at the Yemeni level.

One of the most important reasons that led to the spread of extremist ideology is the entry of the young people in different stages and reaching cross roads in the end, because of the evolution that some Arab countries are experiencing, which created many issues for the youth that are psychological more than it physical. It pushed them to think about finding religious paths to walk down, instead of the globalized one that is spreading right now. Because the Arab youth felt the evolution that happened in the Arab countries rapidly, and started to feel the difference in TV channels and spreading markets and the internet, at the same time they saw the spread of the Salafist ideology of al Qaeda among the youth, because they used the sense of loss that the Arab youth was going through in some countries. They tried to deliver their wicked ideology to all youth and in many ways, so they used some TV channels that caused this underdeveloped, backward ideology of extremism and the Salafist ideology, and they also used some radios, newspapers and the internet, which had played a major role in spreading the culture of extremism and terrorism in our Arab community.

Most of these terrorist crimes aim at killing, slaying, and terrifying innocents and secure citizens, aimed at implementing its own joint project which they called “State of the Islamic Caliphate”, as a global project which will create a good environment for these unjust religious groups to grow and continue to fulfill their interests and business in ruling Yemen, and create fear and terror in the hearts of Yemeni citizens. Some if these international terrorist groups and their financiers of a number of Yemeni partners had deliberately at an early time to do damage to the safety and security and stability of the Republic of Yemen and to undermine the public peace and quiet, and aimed to hit the national Yemeni economy activity within the plan in place and resulted in the exhaustion and destruction of the Yemeni state and weakened its meager power. Now after what happened in the first half of the 90sof the last century, a series of little terrorist attacks which was implemented and carried out by groups and extremist terrorist organizations have targeted the cemeteries and wedding houses and some Western embassies, some hotels and tourist facilities as well, those years have seen, up to this year, that global terrorist and local communities in the Republic of Yemen are taking advantage of the poor conditions and circumstances of internal political status to complete and implement their joint goal mentioned above, and part of this will be the criminal application of many or even thousands of operations and incursions of huge ugly terrorism which has claimed many innocent Yemeni citizens.

I see that no one is silent now. Everyone is resisting and attacking those intellectual systems which are systems that are mischievous to our youth and our homelands, including the loyal scientists, intellectuals and activists of their countries. All of them have extracted from the evidence of the extremist thought. They are in countless numbers and they stressed and warned against falling into it. Allah is dominant over His order, but most of the people do not know. Facing down extremism and terrorist thought is considered now as not enough using security means only, and many experiences at the international level have demonstrated that confronting extremism cannot succeed only by force, but through various and multiple means. When the extremism is the goal in the field of thoughts, it should be meet and be confronted by the means of criticism and dialogue. However, if it turns into a bloody and violent terrorism, there is no other way to deal with it except by subjecting the crime and the bloody violence towards terrorism and its doers, who emerged from the culture of extremism of legitimate force. What is evident is that in our country we have terrorism disguised by religion, and so it is the case with the Arab countries in general.

A case of political and intellectual dispersion was prevailed on the land of Yemen especially after the raises of the interception movements against the regime and so the thoughts were lost and the Yemeni people didn`t know which way to take and which right decision to make and even if someone knew he is by his own because nobody believes him and no one trust on him, so it was decided that the right thing to do is establishing political parties with certain ideas and specific principles to join all currents of Yemen to express its point of view in a positive and peaceful way.

There has to be a huge cooperation between the media systems in all the countries in order to provide the proper awareness to all classes. The mass media has to cooperate to solve the problem of terrorism which will make educational material proper and accepted to eliminate terrorism by all available means and end its dangers. We also have to choose the programs directed to all age groups. We can design programs for the children such as the cartoons and choose popular characters that children will love to educate them in simple methods about the dangers of terrorism. There has to be a lot of focus on the role of the media in extinguishing the feud that raided our country and caused a lot of problems for us.

I stress that the Al-Qaeda plays a prominent political role especially after the instability of the security and the split of the army in all the countries that experienced the Arabic revolutions, particularly in Yemen. We are confident that the Yemeni people and the revolution would be cooperative and strong partners in the fight against this regime as they were in the past. As soon as they finish their quarrels and resume the political process in Yemen, the stability of the security will increase the reduction of their operations and their own prejudices. Yemen will not be the only one that has made the spring revolution. There are the volcanic events in Libya and Syria. There are also developments that many other Arab countries have been through that affected the war against the international terrorism. I am worrying that those events have switched the focus of some countries and one of their primary cases is to eliminate the terrorist organizations. They have been influenced now with its internal problems. The demands of the revolutions and others is to go back home as it was before and here we find that the fight against terrorism has to restore the security. It must be supported by stability until they are available to combat terrorism and eradicate it. Also, I am worried about the Al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups. They will consider what is happening in these countries as an opportunity to intervene because they are operating in the areas of conflict and wars. As we have mentioned, in Yemen in particular, it is obvious in the south after the division of the Army that their ambitions have become greater than before.
