Saudi Arabia, homeland of Osama bin Laden
and many 9/11 hijackers, is widely considered to be the heartland of radical
Islamism. For decades, the conservative and oil-rich kingdom contributed
recruits, ideologues and money to jihadi groups worldwide. Yet Islamism
within Saudi Arabia itself remains poorly understood. Why has Saudi Arabia
produced so many militants? Has the Saudi government supported violent
groups? How strong is Al Qaeda's foothold in the kingdom and does it threaten
the regime? Why did Bin Laden not launch a campaign there until 2003? This
book presents the first ever history of Saudi jihadism based on extensive
fieldwork in the kingdom and primary sources in Arabic. It offers a powerful
explanation for the rise of Islamist militancy in Saudi Arabia and sheds
crucial new light on the history of the global jihadist movement. |
