 Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd and Crown Prince Abdullah, in a joint speech yesterday, urged Muslims to shun terrorism which they said meant "warring against God and His Prophet", to follow Islam's teachings of moderation and forgiveness and to unite. "Terrorism is a result of a sick mentality and of a deviant methodology," King Fahd and Prince Abdullah said in the speech addressed to the pilgrims on the occasion of this year's Haj season. "Terrorism is corruption on earth and aims at destruction and fighting God, His Prophet and Muslims ... and God promised the harshest punishment for corruptors," they said in the speech carried by the Saudi Press Agency.

"The Kingdom combats terrorism in all its forms. It fights terrorism locally and condemns it internationally.
| "Except when it's blowing up Zionists, of course. We pray for the guys doing that in the Grand Mosque at Mecca. And Kashmir, of course. We pray for them, too. And Chechnya..." |
The Kingdom strives to root out terrorism and debunk its principles as well as expose its wrong thoughts. The Kingdom will abide by the religion and implement its rules.

Our stand is based on the rules and principles of the Shariah. This is a firm stand that does not change with circumstances. Abiding by the Shariah is a clear attribute of the Kingdom's policy,". they emphasized.
| "So don't expect anything to change. Ever." |
They said the Kingdom took the initiative to urge the international community to combat terrorism and it supported all the peace-loving countries in their endeavor to uproot terrorism. Combating terrorism requires international cooperation against the sheltering of terrorist elements and groups and to prevent them from exploiting the territories of countries they are living in as a staging point for their sabotage activities whatever the motives and pretexts, they added.
| How about sending the Soddy secret service to help dismantle the ayatollahs? How's that sound, Prince? |
On the basis of its pioneering role in combating terrorism, the Kingdom has organized an international conference on combating terrorism. The 4-day conference will begin in Riyadh on Feb. 5, they pointed out.
