On Monday, Front Page Magazine<\/a> posted an article about a speech made by Czech President<\/a> Milos Zeman on the 26th of May 2014 at the Hilton Hotel about terrorism.<\/p>\n

Here is the speech:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only holiday of independence which I can never leave out is the celebration of the independence of the Jewish State of Israel<\/a>,\u201d Zeman said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are other nations with whom we share the same values, whether it\u2019s free elections or a free market economy, but no one is threatening to delete those states from the map. No one shoots at their border towns and no one wants to see the citizens of those nations driven out of their country.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a term called political correctness<\/a> and I consider it to be a euphemism for political cowardice. So I refuse to be cowardly.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is necesarry to name the enemy of human civilization and this enemy is international terrorism associated with religious fundamentalism and religious intolerance. This fanatical creed does not only attack a single nation, as we saw after September 11. Muslim fanatics in Nigeria recently captured 200 young Christian girls. And in the flower at the heart of Europe, an abominable killing took place at the Jewish Museum in Brussels<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am not reassured by the claims that this is the work of only a small fringe group. Quite the contrary. I believe that xenophobia, racism and anti-Semitism stems from the essential ideology that these fanatical groups are based on.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd let me provide a proof of this assertion in a quote from one of its sacred texts. \u2018The Jews will hide behind stones and trees. Then the tree will call out, \u2018A Jew<\/a> hides behind me, come and kill him.\u2019 The stone will call out, \u2018A Jew hides behind me, come and kill him.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI criticized those who call for the killing of the Arabs<\/a>, but I don\u2019t know of about any mass movement that calls for the mass murder of Arabs. I do however know of an anti-civilizational movement which calls for the mass murder of the Jews.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the articles in the Hamas Charter<\/a> calls for killing Jews.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cDo we really want to pretend that this is only a small group of extremists. Can we really be politically correct and insist that they are all good and that only a tiny number of the extremists and fundamentalists are committing these crimes?\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cOne of my favourite essayists, Michel de Montaigne<\/a> once wrote: \u201cGood does not necessarily succeed evil; another evil may succeed, and a worse evil.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe began the Arab Spring<\/a>, which became the Arab Winter, and the fight against the secular dictatorships has become a battle run by Al-Qaida.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s throw out political correctness and call a spade, a spade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYes we have friends in the world to whom we express our solidarity, but this solidarity costs us nothing because these folks are never threatened.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA true sense of solidarity is solidarity with a friend who is in distress and in danger, and so here I am.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there has not been a lot of press coverage of this speech. This is the policy the world needs to adopt in dealing with terrorism.<\/p>\n
