Prince Naif says Saudi Society is targeted for deviant ideas 2

Commenting on the role of media as regards projecting the Kingdom’s
political and security efforts, Prince Naif said "Undoubtedly, the
media is an important channel and it is capable of projecting matters
in a proper manner and overcoming the mistakes unlike the media-hype
which misleads the people".

On the efforts exerted in this respect, he said there should be
additional steps than the existing efforts, taking into account the
Kingdom's religious, political, geographical, economic and strategic
importance.

"Every citizen should be aware of his duty towards his religion and
country, and others at Arab, Islamic and international levels should
also be aware of this country.
With the grace of Allah Almighty, we have nothing to be shy of and
keep anything concealed, but we have facts which give us honor and
dignity for announcing them."

"This country was established with the grace and help of Allah
Almighty, and then integrated with the efforts if its sons under the
leadership of King Abdulaziz and his companions. Subsequently, the
sons of King Abdulaziz have been following the footsteps of their
great father," Prince Naif noted.

"Moreover, the media should project the facts and realities.
Media is not only the responsibility of the state, but it is the
responsibility of all".

"However, this country should live with its past, present and future
and should never be attracted to worthless matters.
What should attract us is the scientific and technological matters,
including sciences, engineering, agriculture and medicine," he said,
adding that as regards cultures and ideas, each nation knows its way
and style of life, and we are with the grace of Allah Almighty not in
need of such ideas because we follow what we have inherited from our
heritage which is stemmed from our religion and country.

"Thanks to Allah Almighty, we are dependent on ourselves and we feel
honored because we are Saudis and we have a homeland which we are
proud of it," he said, adding that before that we have the religion
which shows us the proper style and we should grasp from it what we
need for confronting the present, and we should discuss with others
in a rational and objective manner on all matters.
