Abdullah Al-Ghamdi Okaz/Saudi Gazette RIYADH — Prince Turki Al-Faisal, Chairman of the Board of Directors of King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, called on the Saudi youth to defend their nation on various social media platforms while protecting their social values. During the first session of Misk Media Forum Tuesday, Prince Turki said, "Controlling information is very difficult in this age. It is better to lay down laws for anyone who wants to give information." He said the Kingdom, since its foundation, has been suffering from wars against it because of its different approach, principle and religion. Prince Turki said the leaders of this country have been following a clear and right approach. The Kingdom's constitution is the Holy Qur'an and Prophetic Sunnah.
