KUWAIT, Dec 6 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti MP Dr. Waleed Al-Tabtabae said Thursday a national conference about negative phenomena in Kuwaiti society would be held next April.
Al-Tabtabae, chairman of the "Negative and Alien Phenomena Committee," said in a press release the conference aimed at highlighting threats posed by "negative phenomena" and how to tackle them through government authorities and NGOs.
Everbody realizes the size of problem caused by "alien" phenomena, said the lawmaker who added that addressing them should take place within a moral and religious framework.
The conference will feature participation of socialogists and psychologists to discuss "trans-sexualism and other phenomena related to tribal or sectarian fanaticism, as well as some negative impacts caused by media," said Al-Tabtabae.
He said the conference would be a good opportunity for the Arab and Islamic communities to fight the alien phenomena "which contradict with Arab and Islamic values." (end) (end) kt.bs KUNA 061958 Dec 07NNNN
