God's Terrorists: The Wahhabi Cult and the Hidden Roots of Modern Jihad
- Synopsis
-
London historian Allen has specialized in Central Asia the British colonial period. Here he traces the history and development of the ideology that underpins a main stream of jihad today. Wahhabism, he explains, took shape in Arabia at the end of the 18th century and was brought to the Indian sub-continent early in the 19th. It was stamped out there ever and again, until it blossomed in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the late 20th century. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
