Prince Khalid Al-Faisal cast light on the negative impacts of practicing terrorism in the name of Islam, giving Islam's enemies a chance to stab our religion from behind. He counted a number of losses, including grave losses of people and damage of properties in addition to spread of panic and fear among innocent people. He said the terrorists crimes have portrayed Islam as though it is the religion of hatred and contradictory to good life. Saudi Ulema, researchers and media have done a good job to refute the accusations of terrorists, explaining that Islam is the religion of tolerance, love and peace and that rejects violence, terror and extremism, he said. At the Arab, regional and Islamic arenas, Saudi Arabia has joined its sister countries to confront the terrorist phenomenon, he said, citing that it has called for establishing the center for dialogue among Islamic sects. At the international arena, it also called for the establishment of the dialogue center among followers of religions and cultures. Despite those efforts, terrorist groups emerge here and there from time to time, he said, adding that today's conference is designed to create a collective Islamic system that confronts the evil efforts to defame the profile of Islam in the world and to put a strategic plan imperative to all peace-loving countries, organizations and people to wipe out this epidemic. --More 21:28 LOCAL TIME 18:28 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
