Muhareb accused Iran of targeting the Arab identity, asserting that the Gulf countries have considerable economic and military potentials and that ISIS is composed of foreign and Iranian intelligence members that know nothing about Islam.
Speaking of the threat of ISIS, Muhareb said: “We need a lecturing that is as serious as the danger of ISIS—Lecturing must not be restricted to explanation but should reinforce concepts of peace, tolerance and rejecting racism and extremism.
He stressed the difficult conditions in the region, saying all sides are being targeted through attempts to incite sectarian, racist and religious divisions.
