"A compelling and incisive analysis of how Saudi Arabia has spread
an extreme version of Islam to Indonesia, Pakistan, Britain, the
United States, and other countries that should make policymakers
rethink the free pass they have consistently given to the
Saudis."--Phil Williams, professor of international security,
Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the
University of Pittsburgh

"In this interesting study Michael Freeman focuses on the 'supply
side' of ideology, specifically on the deliberate dissemination of
Islamist ideologies (and associated institutional infrastructures)
by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States to various countries outside
of the Arab world (Indonesia, Pakistan, the UK, and the U.S.). In
his conclusion he surveys possible countermeasures that might be
employed to block the supply chain of Islamist ideology and thereby
inhibit further radicalization and a potential shift toward more
jihadist violence, though he ruefully recognizes that the Islamist
ideological genie cannot be stuffed back into its magic lamp and
that 'the aspects that most need to be addressed are nearly
impossible to change.'"--Jeffrey M. Bale, professor of
nonproliferation and terrorism studies at Middlebury Institute of
International Studies
