Experts call for antiterror awareness in schools
(MENAFN- Arab News) JEDDAH: Academics researchers and educators are calling for a new strategy to combat extremist and radical thought.
They said the strategy must begin in primary schools and continue through university. The plan should be adopted and led by the Ministry of Education with support from all departments and sectors in the country. They stressed the importance of plainly naming hostile groups and countries in the media lectures and religious sermons. Vague references serve no purpose and information must reach all target groups.
Many experts accused Iran of being responsible for the spread of extremism and the targeting of safe countries for political ambitions.
Ghazi Al-Mutairi an academic said the Al-Qadeeh bombing followeda series of criminal acts carried out by terrorist organizations since 2003 with the intention of disturbing security in the Kingdom.
He said observers noticed tactical changes in choosing the time place and circumstances of such incidents in order to create confusion while taking advantage of the tension caused by Iran's use of political religious media and military institutions to interfere in the affairs of neighboring countries.
Suleiman bin Abdullah a professor at an Islamic university said the Islamic State (Daesh) and Al-Qaeda are both terrorist organizations led by anti-Islamic forces.
Hussein Thani a professor of educational psychology said a strategy should be adopted for continuous discussion and education at all school levels; the strategy must deal with extremist and deviant ideology.
Sudanese researcher Sadeeq Othman said direct and clear discussions that expose the groups and organizations behind such extremist activities were essential to help strengthen public opinion against them.
According to Hameed bin Mohammed Al-Ahmadi an educational researcher 58 percent of school directors see the importance of incorporating education about extremist ideologies in schools in line with the findings of a study conducted by the Naif Arab University for Security Sciences.
He recommended that all school directors introduce and expose students to the dangers of such ideologies before it is too late as these destructive tendencies spread quickly.
