Addressing a forum at King Fahd Academy in London, he urged Saudi students to be cautious about deviant and extremist ideologies that promote violence, racial hatred and conflicts between various schools of religious thought.

“You have to concentrate on enhancing your knowledge in science, technology and other vital subjects for which you have left your country,” said Al-Sudais, who also leads prayers at the Grand Mosque in Makkah.

“Your country is the pearl of nations becuase of it being the cradle of Islam and land of the Two Holy Mosques,” Al-Sudais told the gathering which included a large number of young Saudi men and women studying in British universities and institutes.

Al-Sudais denounced the horrendous crimes being committed by Al-Qaeda and Daesh terrorist organizations. He invited the forum’s outstanding winners, including women, to perform Umrah, visit the Two Holy Mosques and meet with the imams.

Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Wasil, deputy chief of mission at the Saudi Embassy, attended the event.
