Obeid underscored the important role of the Saudi Scouts Society in fighting terrorism and extremism as well as the deviated thought. 'The Saudi Scouts Society advocates peace, fighting terrorism, especially the terrorism which takes religion as a means of realizing its goals', he said adding that 'religion is a spiritual value, and it advocates love and peace and does not advocate killing or fighting.' Dr Al-Obeid is leading the Saudi delegation to the 37th international scouts conference, currently in progress in Hamamat, Tunisia.
