Geagea: To Unite Arab and International Efforts to Combat Terrorism

Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea stressed the necessity to unite Arab and International efforts to strictly combat extremism and terrorism and all its organizations.

Geagea also underlined, in a statement issued by his press office on Saturday, the necessity to refine the prevailing image of Islam and reveal its true noble nature.

He emphasized the need to find peaceful solutions for the crises raging in Libya, Iraq and Syria in order to preserve the safety of their people, their countries' unity and integrity.

Geagea added that “terrorism affects Muslims and Christians alike and it bears upon all the Arab components without any discrimination.”

“Fighting terrorism is not solely a military or security issue, that's why we have to wage it at the intellectual, cultural and religious levels,” he concluded calling on all Arab countries to firmly deal with the “scourge” of terrorism.
