RIYADH, 21 April 2004 - Crown Prince Abdullah, deputy premier and
commander of the National Guard, yesterday reaffirmed that Islam is a
religion of peace and moderation.

The crown prince was delivering the inaugural address at an
international conference on Islam and terrorism, organized by Imam
Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University.

"Islam condemns all forms of terrorism and we must strive to correct
wrong perceptions about our religion," he said. "This is my vision."

Let him better try to correct Islam's wrong perceptions about the
civilized nations of the world.

More than 200 experts on terrorism and academics from European,
American and Asian universities and think-tanks attended the event,
titled "The Stand of Islam on Terrorism, Violence and Extremism."

Higher Education Minister Dr. Khaled Al-Angary, in a keynote address
for the conference, reiterated Saudi Arabia's resolve to combat
terror.

Constant clashes between the West and the Islamic world were a bad
omen for the future of the world, the education minister said, adding
that the three-day conference was intended to clarify these
misconceptions.

Dr. Al-Angary also underlined the importance of unearthing the roots
of terrorism and extremism.

He said Islamic teachings called for dialogue, and asked the faithful
to expose lies and accusations about the religion.

Later, the crown prince laid the foundation stone of Imam Muhammad ibn
Saud Islamic University's SR350-million women's campus and of an SR100
million project for a college of languages, translation and computing.

The university has been trying to shed its extremist image after it
emerged that a number of terror suspects on the government's
most-wanted list were IMSIU graduates.

On the sidelines of the conference, it screened a documentary
highlighting the growth of the university and its contribution to
curbing extremism and violence.

The last such conference said nothing about Muslims committing terrorist
acts against non-Muslims. I expect that the present conference will

simply

release a statement saying that true Muslims do not commit terrorist
acts...against true Muslims.

There are no true or false muslims, just muslims. And fighting any
occupation at all is not terrorism!
