Dear Muslim brothers, The Islamic religion is the religion of unity, brotherhood and cohesion. In our world today, we have seen that some deceived people with false calls which are not ordered by Allah. They did not differentiate between reform and terrorism and do not realize that those calls aiming at disturbing communities with the different parties and also aiming to sow division among Muslims. They have forgotten the purposes of this great religion which aimed that the Muslim community is to be a model of coherence, forgiveness and tolerance. The Kingdom, based on the great honor of the service of the Two Holy Mosques and our belief in the fundamentals of this true religion, rejects terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and we will not allow a group of terrorists to take this religion as a shelter in order to serve their personal interests to horrify the Muslims or target our homeland or any citizens or residents. We also announce that we are continuing with the help of Allah Almighty in addressing and fighting all forms of this scourge, which is hidden behind the teachings of Islam where Islam is innocent of this scourge. We, with the great determination, togetherness and cooperation of the people of this great nation, will expel this scourge in their dark holes. --More 21:01 LOCAL TIME 18:01 GMT تغريد
