The Wahhabi tribe, extreme Islamist fundamentalists, set out to restore purity to their faith by declaring violent jihad on all who opposed them. Their history has long been forgotten and yet their vicious brand of political ideology lives on. The Wahhabi deeply influenced not only the formation of modern Saudi Arabia, but Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. Their teachings educate orphan boys in Afghanistan and press rifles into their hands, for the sake of jihad. The parallels between this pivotal terrorist network and our post-9/11 political climate are staggering. Charles Allen sheds lights on the historical roots of modern terrorism and shows how this dangerous nineteenth-century theology lives on today.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 196mmItem Length: 128mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 300gAuthor: Charles AllenGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, HistoryRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
