### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great authentic work
  

*by S***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 7, 2014*

I am a Saudi myself and a physician so I know the culture Mr Hegghamer is talking about and I also know what a scholarly scientific work is. This is a great book by all means although I have to object to Mr Hegghammer reference about some massacres executed by the Israeli government as "claimed",  but I understand what is it like to be an a academic in the US or Europe where condemning Israel could be of serious consequences on your professional future. Withstanding  these glitches this book was the best I read on the subject and worth reading not only by westerners but also Saudis or Muslims who wants to read a critical piece by an an honest outsider not biased to the subject.Thank you Dr Hegghammer.

    Jihad in Saudi Arabia
  

*by G***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2013*

It is hard to remember this book as I have read 40 books in the past 2 years trying to educate myself about Muslims.  I do remember that the Dictator Family has financed Taliban and al Quida.  Their special business family, Osama Ben Laden is Saudi and has spent a large part of his vast fortune in the fight against infidels.  Today I learned the Pope Sainted 400 Priests that were beheaded for not converting to Islam in the 15th Century.  I was taken aback. I thought from what I had read this World Wide Battle by the Muslims to make the entire world one big Muslim world was from this Century. This book tells of the Jihad in Saudi Arabia and the rush of young Saudi men into the battle to get martyred.Many returned after a week, disgusted with how hard it was.  Young men in Saudi Arabia do not do physical labor, but loll about all day.  They do not go to the store or seek a job.  Some are educated in fine schools and then retire on family money.  None do labor work, (it is too hot and it is hired by men from outside the country).  It is a very strange society of very wealthy people from their giant pool of oil under the desert.  This money is shared by the ruler to keep the people happy and to keep his family in power.  He has a group of brothers that have taken turns as rulers.  It is soon to be passed to a younger generation as the current generation is growing old and there are thousands of young men heirs to the throne and there will have to be a family election to see who will rule.  The Saudi oil money has been the largest contributor to the cost of the battle to convert the world and behead those who do not yield.
