Prince Naif urges imams to confront deviant ideology

Riyadh – Jamad Al Akher 06, 1428/ June 21, 2007– Saudi Arabia's Interior Minister Prince Naif bin Abdul Aziz yesterday emphasized the role of imams and khateebs in the Kingdom’s fight against terrorism and destructive thoughts and ideas. During an open meeting with more than 600 prayer leaders and those who give Friday sermons in mosques, the prince stated, “It is your responsibility to confront this problem by applying your knowledge, minds and courage. There are at least 14,000 mosques where Friday prayers are holding in various parts of the Kingdom. “This means we have 14,000 platforms. If the khateebs use this opportunity to expose the deviants and their ideology, it will have a great positive impact upon society,” he observed. [More]

This is good. While the West is obviously involved, the so-called War on Terror is in reality a war within Islam, the war between the Muslims and the Apostates. We can only do so much; it is on this battlefield that the war will be won.
