Saudi Intelligence Estimate 17,000 websites 'Adhere to the Takfir Ideology'

In a recent commentary, Tariq Alhomayed, the Editor-in-Chief of Asharq Al-Awsat, an Arabic daily newspaper, discussed the importance of the Internet to the spread of terrorist ideals and discusses Saudi intelligence estimates of Internet activity:

"One should never disregard the internet and the level of intellectual misguidance and the spread of terrorism that is taking place through it. It is enough to refer to the recent announcement made by Saudi intelligence authorities in which it stated that there are nearly 17,000 websites that adhere to the Takfir ideology. Fundamentalist websites in Europe have rushed to translate the Al Qaeda leader’s recent speech into English, French, German and other languages."
