Summary: A "smoking gun" on the Saudi-terrorism connection
Comment: I just finished "Hatred's Kingdom" by Dr. Dore Gold, a former Israeli ambassador and a scholar on Islam and, especially, Saudi Arabia. His book documents the connection between Saudi Arabia and terrorism, including the side-by-side translations (Arabic/English) of memos and official documents calling for terrorism against America, Israel, Jews and Christians. Included in the book is the written proof of Saudi financial contributions to terrorists and actual sermons of the top mullahs calling for jihad. This is a chilling book. Saudi Arabia is not a friend and ally of the U.S., as this book proves. Of course, many of us have known this for a long time (duh), but seeing the collected evidence drives it home hard.

Whatever "usefulness" the Saudi's may be in the war against Saddam Hussein, it is superficial at best. Dr. Gold's book proves that the heart of Islamic terrorism beats in Saudi Arabia. I recommend this book to anyone who cares about freedom of religion and freedom from armed zealotry.

Summary: Context for Policy Making
Comment: Quite unpleasant subject matter, coupled with an especially pedestrian style of presentation makes this book absolutely as dry as dust to read. Having said that clearly, it seems to me a most valuable book. Part of the reason the book is dry reading is simply that it is factual. Unlike many books, line after line of this text give explicit facts that can be verified or falsified by further reading. Factual information can be less pleasant, easy reading than a digested or even "sexed up" editorial. So, what I am calling "dry as dust" can also be seen as elegantly factual---just what we need.

The context explained in all detail in this book shows quite precisely the relationship of Wahhabist Islam in Saudi Arabia to the government. The relationship is unlike what we experience in the West, and a lot of explanation seems needed. We see here, then, extremely good evidence that "Arab extremism" is identical with Wahhabism; that it is being exported in a consciously hostile way by the Saudis; and that it is as dangerous to most Muslims as it is to most Christians or Jews.

Although this is very important information, it seems not to be entering as it should into policy making in the West. That needs to be changed. Perhaps at the next election, we might need a regime change (non-violent, thank you), too.

Summary: The Whole Truth
Comment: Perhaps this book and others like "What Went Wrong" will serve as a wake up call regarding the real truth about Saudi Arabi & Islam.
