| [ARABNEWS] Gulf states are stepping up their awareness campaigns to alert young people about the dangers of extremism, said Kuwait's Information Minister Sheikh Salman Al-Hamoud Al-Sabah. He said the new 'Gulf Awareness' programs would adopt a different approach with the aims of moving youth away from Lion of Islam and harmful views. Al-Sabah's remarks followed a meeting of the Gulf information ministers that concluded in Kuwait recently. The meeting discussed plans for combating extremism. Terrorism in the media has become a global phenomenon, he said. A recent meeting of interior ministers of the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... has stressed the need to boost monitoring mechanisms against media networking sites that support terrorism, he pointed out. Gulf authorities will support educational and media awareness campaigns to prevent terrorist ideologies and Lion of Islam thoughts from spreading across the Internet via social networking sites. |
