ISLAMABAD-A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was reached between outgoing Saudi ambassador to Pakistan H.E Ali S Awadh Asseri and the Oxford University Press (OUP) here at the Serena Hotel on Monday. The MoU was signed about the book that the ambassador is going to write and the OUP is to publish that book. Speaking before a small gathering, Amina Syed, head of the OUP introduced the audience to the background, academic and otherwise, of the ambassador. Ambassador Asseri then followed with a description of his book, titled Combating Terrorism: Saudi Arabias Role in the War on Terror. He explained how Muslims the world over had been getting bad press since the 9/11 attacks in the US. He said the book would give an Islamic perspective on the issue and would remove many misconceptions about the religion. The book, he said, would also highlight the Saudi anti-terrorism strategy and the reasons and perhaps its applicability in the rest of the world. PML-N Information Secretary MNA Ahsen Iqbal also spoke on the issue. He hoped that they ambassadors book would prove to be a valuable addition to counter-terrorist literature. He also said that the need of the hour was not just to deweaponise the militants but to also strip them of their intellectual weapons.
