As part of the series of programs and presentations organized by the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC), IMCTC held a presentation entitled “Terrorism between Thought and Belief”, on Monday, 1 February 2021, at its headquarters in Riyadh. The presentation was delivered by Dr. Zayed Al-Harthi, Delegate of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to IMCTC in the Ideology Domain, under the patronage of IMCTC Secretary-General Maj. Gen. Mohammed Bin Saeed Al-Moghedi and in the presence of IMCTC member countries’ delegates and IMCTC personnel.
Dr. Al-Harthi noted that differentiating between thought and belief is an important factor on which to build plans, programs and strategies to confront the scourge of terrorism and protect individuals and communities from its destructive impact. He also stressed that it is important to leverage all disciplines and international expertise which underpin a comprehensive and global approach to address terrorism and violent extremism, away from isolation and intolerance.
