In the wake of September 11th instant theories
have emerged that try to root Osama Bin Laden's attacks on Wahhabism.
Muslim critics have dismissed this conservative interpretation of Islam
that is the official creed of Saudi Arabia as an unorthodox innovation
that manipulated a suggestible people to gain political influence. David
Commins' book questions this assumption. He examines the debate on the
nature of Wahhabism, and offers original findings on its ascendance in
Saudi Arabia and spread throughout other parts of the Muslim world such
as Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also assesses the challenge that
radical militants within Saudi Arabia pose to the region, and draws
conclusions which will concern all those who follow events in the
Kingdom. The Wahhabi Mission and Saudi Arabia is essential reading for
anyone interested in the Middle East and Islamic radicalism today.
