Throughout history, human society has suffered from terrorism,
violence, and extremism. This suffering has increased in this day and
age, causing physical and moral damage to many communities and
culminating in an international phenomenon which preoccupies the mind
and causes concern to everyone seeking peace, security and stability.

Islam, undoubtedly, has a clear stand on terrorism, violence, and
extremism and on their causes as it abhors such phenomena and combats
them, calling for cooperation with others to protect mankind from
their dangers and consequences. Given its complex nature, terrorism
requires scientific investigation which addresses its roots, causes,
consequences and the ways to combat it.

In order to clarify the position of Islam on these phenomena and to
expound its moderations, goodness and call for dialogue, the idea
arose to hold a conference entitled ‘The Stand of Islam on Terrorism,
Violence, and Extremism' at Al-Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud University,
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
