Explosions
Meanwhile, the Higher Committee for the Promotion of Moderation, affiliated with the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, condemned Monday recent explosions against two mosques in Saudi Arabia, calling it a "terrorist" act against Islam and humanitarian principles. The two terrorist acts that targeted worshipers inside mosques in Al- Qadih village and Damam city, eastern the Kingdom, are a result of a corrupted ideology that had been rooted inside the perpetrators' minds, Fareed Amadi, the Committee's Secretary General, said in a press statement.
This heinous crime has violated sanctities of human lives and properties, as well as sanctities of security and stability, Amadi said, adding that terrorism has no religion whatsoever. He also noted that terrorist organizations take a full advantage of any opportunity that allows them to spread their corrupted ideologies that are based on inciting hatred, radicalism, violence, and seditions among people.
Amadi called on religious scholars and preachers, in addition to all awqaf and Islamic affairs ministries, media state and public institutions, and intellectual elite figures in the Islamic world to consolidate all efforts towards fighting ideologies that promote radicalism and racism in order to protect the Islamic communities from dangers of these ideologies.
