Kuwait puts extremists under pressure - Middle East Online

Former oil minister Ali al-Baghli, a liberal, wrote in Al-Qabas on Wednesday that "it is not enough to cut the tail of the snake because it will grow another. What is needed is to cut off the snake's head, namely the masters of terror and all those who propagate for terror in mosques and the media," he said.

In an open letter to Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah, former education minister and leading liberal activist Ahmed al-Rubei called for the questioning of political groups which harbour hardline ideology.

"We want to know which political group is harbouring this ideology ... We want to know from where they raised all these funds that helped them to arm," Rubei said in the letter published in Al-Qabas.

The head of a Kuwaiti women's association, Sheikha al-Nisef, warned at a public rally earlier this week that the emirate could "slide into civil war", if the government fails to take action against Islamic groups.
