These culminated in Saudi Arabia's playing host to the international anti-terrorism conference, held in Riyadh on 25 Dhu al-Hijjah of the year 1425 corresponding to February 5 of 2005, with the participation of more than 50 Arab, Islamic and foreign countries as well as a number of international, regional and Arab organizations, in culmination of efforts, in the fight against terrorism in all its forms, at the local, regional and international levels, proceeding from the belief that terrorism is a serious global problem that must be addressed through cooperation of all countries, solidarity and concerted efforts. The Kingdom suffered, too much, as a part of the world of violence and terrorism, as it has become a global phenomenon with varied methods and means, affecting many nations, in the world, as it is a serious scourge with no country or religion, recognizing no genre, time or a place. However, it cannot defeat strongly faithful nations, incorporated with their leadership such people such as Saudi Arabia which the hands and the arms of its security men sons, managed to cut off its way, who brave have tumbled principles of terrorists' ideas, while their misguided approach was confronted by Saudi scholars and sheikhs, who refuted their false arguments and inferred evidences from the Quran and Sunnah to explain their mistakes and corruption and nullity. Saudi Arabia has a dual basis strategy towards tackling violence and terrorism on the local and international levels. Globally, it denounces and condemns it, while it fiercely fight it, locally. At the local level, the Kingdom fight terrorism through two parallel lines: Security related confrontation and preemptive action. --SPA 18:43 LOCAL TIME 15:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
