Prince Naif said the universities are capable of conducting
scientific researches for eradicating the deviant ideas which defame
Islam.
He noted that the ulema (Muslim scholars), particularly the General
Mufti, are also capable of positively contributing to fighting
deviant ideas.
Moreover, Prince Naif said there are about 15,000 mosques in the
Kingdom for performance of juma (Friday) prayers, and these mosques
constitute a suitable forum for the guidance of the people.
As the universities are centers of researches, then it is their duty
to conduct studies that capable of eradicating the ideas which defame
the religion and the country, he noted.
Prince Naif pointed out that the intellectual security is not less
importance than the public security, and so the intellectuals should
shoulder their responsibility in this respect.
He noted that relation exists between the security and the science,
and the security capability depends on the proper idea, adding that
even before the increase of the phenomenon of terrorism, we were
intensifying contacts between the interior ministry and the
universities.
He said 'we have been asking conducting studies on the affairs that
concern the interior ministry'.
He noted that there is no reference which is better that the Holy
Quran and Sunnah.
We are as Arabs, do feel proud because the Holy Quran is in Arabic
and the Prophet Mohammed, peace is upon him, was an Arab.
