Speaker of the Shura Council Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Ibrahim Al Al-Sheikh said extremism and extravagance as ways of thinking lead to terrorism, particularly the rejection of opposite views by those who claim that they are always correct and others are always wrong. In a statement to highlight the "Terror between thought's extremism and the thought of extremism" conference, ongoing in the Madinah-based Islamic University, Al Al-Sheikh said Islam prohibited aggression against other's blood, property and honor. He said the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was one of the victims of the deviant thought and terrorism but thanks to the prudent and firm policy of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud; his Crown Prince; and the Second Deputy Premier and to the bravery of the security forces, the deviant group was defeated. He paid tribute to the comprehensive strategy adopted by the Saudi authorities to face terrorism, including conduction of dialogue, provision of advice and correction of wrong notions through symposia and lectures. He said the Saudi experience in fighting terrorism is now a novel narrated by intellectuals and studied by strategists outside.
