Sheikh also referred to intellectual security, which he said is no less important than the security of souls and money, stressing that Islam protected the minds of Muslims from deviation, negligence, excessiveness, hypocrisy or extremism. "In addition, a fair balance and moderation has been established by Islam which is evidenced by the words of God in verses of the Holy Quran." In his sermon, Al Al-Sheikh also explained that there is information security in light of what the world is witnessing of crucial developments through modern technical means, making the nation carries a heavy burden as well as putting on the nation a moral and religious obligation in dealing with it. "Moreover, such means are open for the deployment of thought and to influence the recipient, stressing the importance of exercising caution in this context". He described these means as electronic terrorism that harmed the society and its members under false names and aliases to spread vice and corruption. The General Mufti urged the Muslim nation to make aware their children with the right direction and guidance and warn them about what is presented and offered, calling scientists, clerics, research centers and university professors to use such means in calling for right, eliminating the injustice and guiding the nation to the straight path. --MORE
