A number of prominent Scholars underscored the media's pivotal role in effectively combating deviant thoughts and extremism. They emphasized the need for working out a joint charter by eminent Scholars and media figures aimed at presenting the true image of Islam and a rejection of extremist ideas. The Scholars commended Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz Al-Asheikh for his recent clarification that Islam upholds principles of moderation, tolerance and peaceful coexistence. Sheikh Saleh Bin Abdullah Bin Humaid, adviser at the royal court and former chairman of the Shoura Council, said there should be a comprehensive view in confronting problems like terrorism and extremism at the grass roots level.
