The report reviewed the center's main goals including coordination with international governmental institutions such as the US State Department, the African Union Mission in Somalia and other international agencies such as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the International Police. The report cited general supervisor of the Intellectual War Center Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa's statement in which he stressed that the IWC considers "Islam to be embracing, loving and all inclusive." "The type of Islam that the center seeks to counter is a doctrine that goes beyond logic leading to extremism, hatred and exclusion," he says. The report stated that according to Salman Al Ansari, President of the Saudi American Public Relations Affairs Committee (SAPRAC), the IWC seeks to coordinate the effort of the Islamic coalition's member states to counter terrorism. The report stated that IWC's initiatives include a range of counter terrorism strategies: the exchange of intelligence and databases of terrorist organizations among coalition members, media initiatives to communicate counter-radicalization messaging, and the coordination of military support according to each states' capabilities to confront terrorism that threatens the member states. The report stated that the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, Canada and Italy support the coordination of these member states, and would potentially benefit from these efforts, receiving increased intelligence and support in countering home-grown or imported terrorism and radicalization. --SPA 22:25 LOCAL TIME 19:25 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w428916
