Abstract
The aim of this study is to identify the extent to which Saudi universities' students rely on the media for international terrorism issues, The study used the descriptive analytical method. A questionnaire was developed as a tool to cover the practical side of this study and was constructed for this purpose in accordance with the recognized scientific steps. The tool was applied to the study sample which numbered (200) students from Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University, King Saud University, Dar Al Uloom University and Prince Sultan University. To answer the study questions, descriptive and analytical statistical methods were used through the statistical package (SPSS); frequencies and percentages were extracted, and the Kronbach alpha test was used to identify the stability of the study tool. To answer the study questions arithmetic mean and standard deviations were calculated, and a one Way ANOVA, the Scheffe Test, and the Independent Sample T-test were used. The results found that Saudi universities students relied on the media regarding international terrorism issues. This can be attributed to the true Islamic intellectual vision from which all Saudi university students aspire to renounce violence, extremism and terrorism, as well as their rejection of all forms of destruction that bring ruin and havoc to societies.
