except for the places which Allah willed to preserve. Hence, it is the duty of the rulers to fight them and to ban the newspapers and books that advertise them among the people. Likewise, all newspapers and books conveying all kinds of atheism, subversion, and calls for dissociation from morality, and virtue should be banned. In addition, the rulers should charge administrative governors and security officials ­ in cooperation with the committees for the propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice (CPVPV) ­ with elimination of such destructive tools and lethal methods that threaten our religion and morality. May Allah guide them to maintain His Religion, protect His Shari`ah, and support whoever undertakes such a task; He is indeed Able to do everything.
