From the cradle of revelation and the birthplace of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), I call on leaders and scholars of the Islamic nation to carry out their duty towards Allah Almighty and stand in the face of those trying to hijack Islam and present it to the world as a religion of extremism, hatred, and terrorism, and say the word of truth, and not fear anybody as our nation today passes a critical, historic stage, and history will be a witness against those who have been the tool exploited by the enemies to disperse and tear the nation, and tarnish the pure image of Islam. In addition to all of this, we see the blood of our brothers in Palestine shed in collective massacres which have not excluded anyone and war crimes against humanity without any human or moral deterrence so that terrorism has gained various forms, whether groups, organizations or countries which are the most dangerous in their potential, intentions and plots. All of this is happening while the international community is watching silently with all its institutions and organizations, including human rights organizations. This community is silently observing what is happening in the whole region and is indifferent to what is happening, as if what is happening doesn't concern it. This silence has no justification. It is not aware that it will lead to the emergence of a generation that believes only in violence, rejecting peace and believing in the clash and not dialogue of civilizations. I mention here that ten years ago, in the Riyadh conference, we called for the creation of the International Centre for Counter-terrorism. The proposal was supported by the entire world at the time. The aim has been to coordinate among the states, but we were disappointed afterwards because of the lack of serious interaction by the international community with this idea, which has led to lack of activation of the proposed in a way that achieves the great hopes we pinned on it. --More 16:36 LOCAL TIME 13:36 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
