Anwar Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, added his voice to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's concern with "parkinglotism." A tool for changing the subject from the global threat posed by Islamic extremism to a fictitious generalizable fault of Western society. He said:
"Terrorists are a small minority who do not represent any religion...Stereotyping is a real fear of Muslim communities. The recent murder of three Muslim students in North Carolina, possibly due to their faith, underlines the message that extremism is criminal and devoid of any religion."
