This timely book brands the political and religious elite inside that country as enemies of the western world. From the Wahhabi brand of Islam, which Laurent Murawiec calls "a strange mix of paganism, provincial insularity, and of a rhetoric borrowed from Islam," to the powerful and corrupt Saudi royal family, to the multinational entities that support terrorism, the author takes the reader inside a world where enemies of the U.S. and the west are being cast as allies. He persuasively demonstrates that the Saudi leadership is as responsible for the spread of terror as any other radical Islamic nation. By extension, there is also profound criticism of the U.S. foreign policy-starting with the post-World War II period-that has supported the royal family instead of condemning it as an evil empire and of containing it. In the end, the most profound and far-reaching questions are addressed. What is to be done about Saudi Arabia? Should we take the "Saudi" out of Arabia? And if so, how? 0aInternational relations 0aIslamic fundamentalism 0aKings and rulers 0aPetroleum industry and trade 0aPolitical science 0aTerrorism--Religious aspects--Islam 0aWahhābīyah 0aĀl Saʻūd, House of1 aHoloch, George.403Amazon.comuhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0742542785/chopaconline-20  2ddccBK  c14999d14999  001040708NFICaCIPSbCIPScGENd2013-10-01l0o953.8053 MUR 2003pCIPS0001446r2013-10-25w2013-10-25yBK
