At the meeting organized by the Program of Communication with Yemeni Scholars last night, under the patronage of Sheikh Dr. Al-Shathri, praised Yemen's preachers, scholars and men who held the responsibility of confronting Iran's project of Houthi militia. He explained that scholars have a responsibility to restore hope for victory, and uncover the suspicions and schemes woven by the enemies of the nation, and combat ideas and projects, which want to undermine the nation and its faith. He stressed that the absolute commitment to Islam, and maintaining the unity of the nation and the entity of the state, will defeat the Iranian project, or any project that wants to undermine the homelands. For his part, Deputy Chairman of the Yemeni Scholars Association Sheikh Ahmed bin Hassan Al-Moallem expressed his appreciation to the Government of Saudi Arabia for their support of this program and the support of Yemeni scholars, especially in the circumstances that Yemen is going through. He also thanked the Minister of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance, Dr. Abdullatif Al-Sheikh, for his efforts in sponsoring the program. Al-Moallem pointed to the practices of the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militia that target the depth of Yemeni society by poisoning ideas and changing the right approach of society, stressing that the role of Scholars is to fight perverted ideas. He pointed to the attack aimed at undermining Islam and Muslims, in order to reach what is happening today of the Houthi terrorist militia crimes against Yemen and Arabism, and systematic attacks on the doctrine of the nation and security and stability. Al-Moallem drew attention to the great role of the Coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen led by the Kingdom, and what it has done in order to address this destructive and dark project. --SPA 00:27 LOCAL TIME 21:27 GMT 0056 www.spa.gov.sa/w1199487
