King receives Minister of Culture and Information, press officials 3 Riyadh

We are concerned that your aim is a goal of a hard working Muslim for
his homeland and the interest of his country above all. I believe
that you all have this. But some people, sometimes are ordered by the
evil from themselves. This should be met with reason and faith.
I ask you to be directed towards your religion first and your
homeland above all. No one doubts your faith and sincerity. But
sometimes, man is conceited. You should correct him. This is not a
criticism, but to attract your attention.

My brothers, I belong to you. But the interests of my religion and
homeland are above all. I neither bargain nor consider over them not
even in dream. There is no doubt about this. This is my belief in you
all. But you differ in some views. Some of you want to open a room
for them. Open a room and attract their attention.

Allah willing, I will go to America for the dialogue of followers of
religions currently under way. I pray to Almighty Allah to help us.
The dialogue of followers of religions is a duty on every male and
female human being. At the same time, it came in a time when the
world is criticizing Islam. You are all the sons of Islam and you
must preserve it. It is regrettable that some of our sons are tempted
by Satan or brothers of Satan. And it happened what happened. And I
thought what is the solution? I'm not the only one who wants this,
but you all and every correct Muslim want that Islam's reputation
remains pure. I thought that nothing can purify it except for the
extension of Muslims' hands to their brothers in other religions and
this can deter a little bit. This is a humanitarian duty of
convergence, advice, guidance to any creed, religion or others, and
dialogue.
