Prince Naif says Saudi Society is targeted for deviant ideas 4

Replying to a question on what this Chair adds to the previous
conferences aiming to achieve intellectual security and combat
terrorism, Prince Naif said,'' For this reason, the Chair was founded
and the study ended this evening in preparation of the intellectual
strategy which is required now and for years to confront this
intellectual abnormality which is the main reason for terrorism.

I do not think that we have any honor as Saudis to find our sons abroad
turning into bombers who kill innocent men, women and children that
are not guilty of anything anywhere, whether in Iraq, Pakistan and
Lebanon or anywhere else. These individuals make bombing as their
profession. This is a dishonorable act and a great sin. We should
know who direct them in this direction, and how they hurt them, and
how they harm Islam and sons of this country".


Prince Naif added, "The number of these individuals is meager. Those
who have still survived, they should return to their country and
religion. The religion of Islam has nothing to do, whatsoever with
these individuals. Some people exploit these matters. Islam has been
harmed and has been transformed into a religion which is not suitable
for humanity for the present time. Meanwhile, the reality is that
humanity, human rights and all other rights are actually derived from
Islam. There is no legislation better than Islam as regards all
matters because it is the divine message revealed by Allah Almighty
who knows what is good for human beings."

Prince Naif concluded by saying, " We refuse to be dragged into
others' thoughts or lives. We hope to share with them the right
advancement; scientific, economic and knowledge-based progress. As
for their culture, thought, life, we say, "No". "We totally reject
them as our fundamentals and morality emanate from our religion and
heritage to which we are all adhered to in the light of their
goodness for us."
