Islamic books project launched in London
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 10 - 2008

The international books on Islam and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia project was launched here on Thursday. The project, prepared by 77 researchers, thinkers and politicians from in and outside the Kingdom, aims at projecting Islam and Saudi society in the proper manner as well as deepening dialogue and understanding between the Kingdom and other societies and civilizations.
The function was attended by Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Subeyel, Undersecretary for Cultural Affairs in the Ministry of Culture and Information, and other officials, academicians and intellectuals.
The launching ceremony was organized by the clubs of the Saudi students in Britain and Northern Ireland with the support of Ghaina Establishment for Studies and Information, the publisher of the books.
The books published in Arabic, English and French constitute a cultural message for enhancing the values of dialogue and correction of wrong concepts about Islam and the Kingdom. Moreover they shed light on the biography of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him.)
The project clarifies the stand of the Kingdom vis-a-vis a number of problems notably the problems of terrorism, the status of women in Muslim societies and the Kingdom in particular, the Saudi political system, the role of the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice and other economic, social and cultural issues.
Speaking on the occasion, Badr Bin Ahmad Koreyemn, the chairman of the project, said Britain was chosen for launching the books after Saudi Arabia due to the fact that Britain was a country of civilization and culture.
Dr. Muhammad Al-Bishr, the head of the project's scientific team, said knowledge was the basis of understanding others. He reviewed the cultural project which was prepared by a number of researchers and members of the media from the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Greece, Russia, Japan as well as the Arab World, notably Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, chairman of the Clubs of Saudi Students in Britain, Muhammad Aal Al-Sheikh, and Director General of Ghaina establishment, Abdul Aziz Al-Dawood, underlined the importance of the cultural projects, and said they positively contribute to narrowing the gap among the cultures and enhancing the pillars of understanding and dialogue.
The first project was launched in Riyadh with participation from a number of intellectuals and academicians.
