Publisher's Synopsis
Is a comprehensive analytical study of the life of the founder of the Wahhabi movement and his political exploitation of religion. It addresses his life journey and the social climate in which he launched a mission that would serve as an inspiration for terrorism. The author argues that present-day Wahhabism has fueled extremist movements such as al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and sleeper cells that aim to create division between countries and their citizens in an attempt at achieving global dominance. This book is a warning of a looming conventional war that is, in part, due to the limited cultural awareness of Western authorities.
