Islamic summit against terrorism begins in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, has opened today the first high-level meeting of the Saudi-led alliance of Muslim anti-terrorism countries, expressing commitment that extremists in “will not fit our very good religion”.

Speaking before defence ministers and other senior officials in Saudi Arabia's capital of Riyadh, bin Salman said that “the biggest danger of this terrorism and extremism is the destruction of the reputation of our beloved religion... and we will not allow that to happen”.

This speech was made until the extremist group, the Islamic State (IS), was expelled from Iraq and lost a city in Syria, which he considered its capital.
