integrity, accuracy and speed of response of its media. The meeting,
which was organized by the Secretariat General of the Council of Arab
Ministries of Internal Affairs in the Tunisian capital, Tunis, was

orientations departments at the Arab Ministries of Interior.

support channels and preventive methods to protect society and build its
defenses it against negative and destructive ideals, which aim at
undermining the safety and stability of the communities and doing damage
to their national gains and achievements.
Media Expert
Abdullah Shahin at Abu Dhabi Police, called upon preachers, clerics,
muftis and dawah sheikhs to play a bigger role and assume their social
responsibility to spread cultural enlightenment and awareness about the
dangers of crime and extremism, eradicate its ideological sources and
preach tolerance among people. He criticized some religious satellite
channels, which are tarnishing the cultural aspect of Islam, and waste
their time and energy on highlighting supernatural and superficial
topics such as “magic, sorcery and Djinn” instead of discussing the
current crucial topics that compromise the safety of the people and the
stability of life in real world.
The sixth Media Plan
for 2015, established by the Secretariat General of the Council and
approved by the members, included a number of goals, most notably,
promoting the spirit of citizenship, loyalty and patriotism and boosting
the spirit of partnership and social cohesion. This can be achieved by
establishing the modern concepts of security as a social responsibility,
and instilling the tolerant religious ideals and virtuous humanitarian
principles. The sixth Media Plan will also encourage righteous social
behaviors that call for rejecting violence and extremism, uncover
suspicious backgrounds and authorities as well as ideological, political
and social misleading and destructive da’was that make use of modern
scientific methods; in addition to working on improving the
stereotypical perception of the role played by security bodies and their
constructive efforts and sacrifices in order to fulfill their duties
and sacred mission.
The plan also stressed the
importance of cooperation with media outlets and the need to encourage
them to pursue and intensify their efforts in educating and elevating
the sense of security among the public, in the framework of professional
standards and media honor codes. It also stresses the importance of
cooperation with various educational and religious institutes, houses of
worship, development and socialization institutions, youth care, labor
unions and many others.
