Opis

Wahhabi Islam presents a historical, political, and spiritual account of the birth of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Wahhabi influence that helped shape the modern Islamic world. The birth of Sheik Mohammed Ibn Al-Wahhab and the alliance with the Al Saud tribe led to the birth of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As Worldwide terrorist attacks brought Islam to the attention of the world as never before, an unattractive image of the faith has now become widely perceived in the West as a militant and highly charged fundamentalist movement having endless suicidal fanatics with a grudge against the West in general and the United States in particular. The author unmasks the myths surrounding the practice of Islam, the Wahhabi creed, and their strict adherence to one of the more conservative belief systems practiced in Saudi Arabia.
