Saoodi website dedicated to deviant ideology
A recent report said that 300 Internet websites are dedicated to the propagation of 'deviant ideology' compared to only five challenging extremist views.
The sites opposing extremist ideology are few and far between compared to the increasing number of 'takfeeri sites,' said author of the study Fayez Al Shehri, a researcher specialising in the press and Internet.
"Sites that preach moderation number only 80, and most statistics and reports monitoring radical websites are published by Israeli or Jewish organisations in America," he said.
According to Al Shehri's report, the 300 'takfeeri' websites which incite to killing are run by unidentified persons or groups who follow deviant thought and promote terrorism.
Only last week Majed Al Mursal, advisor to the Minister of Islamic Affairs and Al Munasaha member, said that the Communications and Information Technology Commission's failure to monitor the Internet was leading to an increase in the number of extremists.
