Addressing the audience, Crown Prince Abdullah praised all servicemen for preserving the homeland's security and safety and for defending their religion and country. The Crown Prince noted that individuals of this deviating group have defamed Islam's reputation all over the world, stressing that this group and the Kingdom's enemies will be defeated and servicemen will be victorious. Affirming the Kingdom's adherence to the religion, he said that the Kingdom has been targeted because it represents the head of Islam and it has the two holy mosques in Makkah and Madinah. The audience was attended by a number of princes and officials.
