Saudi Arabia to host conference on terrorism
There are so-o-o-o many smart-assed remarks than could be made about that title...
Experts on terrorism will attend an international conference held in the Saudi capital in February to ascertain ways of combating extremism and the role Islam can play in halting violence.
| It'll be interesting to see who shows up... |
The event, which is organized by Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University, stems from the upsurge in violence and attacks in the kingdom, Abdullah bin Nasser al-Hamoud, chairman of the media committee of the conference, told Arab News. Al-Hamoud was quoted as saying: âThe importance of such a conference comes from the fact that the Kingdom has been recently a target of terrorism.â It was âimperative for the Kingdom to study the roots of terrorism and explain to everyone the role of Islam in countering terrorism and violence,â he said.
