“We have capital punishment. America has capital punishment. Iran has capital punishment.”

Daesh members wear shoes. Does this mean everybody who wears shoes is Daesh?

We don’t tolerate terrorism.

We were the first country in the world to hold a national public awareness campaign against extremism and terrorism.

We expressed our readiness to join the US-led, international coalition against Daesh with special forces.

If you want to have children, go to your wife and make new ones.” [Bashar] Assad’s people rebelled.

All of this, however, is still in the discussion phase and in the initial planning phase.
