DUBAI: A top Saudi Muslim preacher called Friday for a global code of conduct for leaders, scholars and young people to halt a further slide into violence and "terror" in the Middle East.

The U.S.-allied kingdom has grown increasingly alarmed since militants from an offshoot of Al-Qaeda captured large areas of neighboring Iraq and Syria and declared an Islamic caliphate.

At his Friday sermon in Mecca, the imam and preacher of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Sheikh Abdul-Rahman al-Sudais, decried "mass massacres against humanity" in Gaza, Syria and Iraq.

"All of this happens under the sight and hearing of the international community ... which raises fear that a generation would come to believe only in violence, terror and the clash of civilizations," Saudi state news agency SPA quoted Sudais as saying.
