He assured the ministry has since been keeping record of complaints and intelligence received about some Imams that led to legal and administrative measures against personalities involved.

As regards the possible participation of Kuwaiti women in terrorism, he explained there’s no difference between male and female as far as extremist ideology is concerned, because many women have been caught in the act in many countries. “However, I’m sure that none of our Kuwaiti women are into terrorism, and in case there is any, it’ll be considered rare due to peaceful nature of the country”.
