The Wahhabi Code: How the Saudis Spread Extremism Globally Kindle Edition

I highly recommend reading Terence Ward’s new book, “The Wahhabi Code.” The book will open the reader’s eyes and minds to the purposeful worldwide export of ultra conservative Islam called, Wahhabism. For decades the doors to this extreme religion have opened wider in order to accommodate the strategic dissemination of religious propaganda and fear mongering. This intentional reality which Ward proposes presents the global community with the prospect of a bleak future. We learn that Qatar and Saudi Arabia continue to play a duplicitous role in pretending to be everyone’s friend, while at the same time continuing campaigns of cruelty and evil. The enforcement of blockades in Yemen which restricts civilian access to food and medicine is a prime example. Ideologically, historians suggest that civil societies welcome diverse communities. Typically, Christians, Muslims, Jews have lived in relative peace and harmony. Sadly, at other times there has been war. Intense battles of nation states (religious) to win the hearts and minds of the people. Now, it is clear, that the goal of the Wahhabist is to weaponize religious beliefs. Reviewing Ward’s insights, it is not hard to grasp the potential of unchecked worldwide spiritual incarceration. Ward suggests that Wahhabist believe any “non-believers” are deviant, decadent and dangerous heretics that deserve no mercy.” In other words, we are all expendable in order to further Wahhabist goals, e.g. 9/11. Now more than ever, we are not sure “who” to fear and “what” may be on the horizon.Ward has produced a well written explanation of the sinister plot the Wahhabist have in mind for us. The book reminds us that too many people throughout millennia have risked death, hidden themselves, changed their names, pretended to be something they’re not or fled to escape tyrannical religious leaders. In today’s modern world why would anyone feel obligated and entitled to subjugate someone, diminish human individuality, sully human dignity, while punishing and physically harming individuals for their spiritual beliefs? Difficult judgments need to be made. How will the world hold the Wahhabist accountable?Michael F Luck PhD.

Author Terence Ward knows the Middle East intimately; he grew up in Saudia Arabia and Iran, studied in Cairo and worked for many years as a consultant to clients across the region. I recently read his latest book, "The Wahhabi Code", which I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to better understand the many contradictions and appalling hypocrisies of America's relationship with Saudi Arabia - the seat of Wahhabism -and wishes to gain a clear picture of just how "this small sect that originated in central Arabia only two hundred years ago" has wreaked havoc across the contemporary world. Because of the author's breadth of knowledge, talent as a writer and abiding humanism, "The Wahhabi Code" is both revelatory history and balanced analysis. This is essential reading, especially right now, in light of President Trump's recent statement affirming the continued primacy of America's relationship with the Kingdom, despite the heinous murder and dismemberment two months ago of Saudi journalist and US Green Card holder Jamal Khashoggi within Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul.

Terrance Ward's clear and concise revelation of the Saudi dynasty's deal with the devil funding Wahhabi intolerance and extremism world-wide reveals how the Saudi butchering of Khashoggi is the tip of the ice berg and the danger of Trump's love of wealth enabling a fatal disease to spread. While Ward explains how the Saudi's spend hundreds of millions promoting radical Islam, he does not discuss why the Moslem world has been such fertile ground.

In this deliciously written book, which takes the form of a series of letters, Terence Ward provides centuries of history in less than 150 pages. Those who fail to understand Wahhabism - the philosophy behind the majority of terror attacks on the West, including 9/11 - are missing the story. Ward’s brief but beautiful volume exposes the Saudi regime’s cruel, intolerant and ambitious philosophy for all the world to see. Through the deformed and extreme invention known as Wahabbism, Saudi Arabia exports extremism and terror around the globe. And they are doing it with praise and support from every country (including the USA) that continues to turn a blind eye to Saudi atrocities in exchange for money.

The governments of the world hope like hell their citizens stay confused an uninvolved in the real politics of the rich and powerful. THIS BOOK IS A GREAT STARTING POINT FOR THOSE CITIZENS TO BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE REALITY OF THE TERRORISM WE FACE EVERY DAY.I am hoping everyone who purchases a copy of this book, will (a) share it with at least one friend; and, (b) buy an extra copy and donate it to a public library.

Im giving this book 4 stars because it is a brief easy to read review of the propagation of Islamic Wahhibi fundamentalism and the creation and backing of ISIS. It is a knowledgeable book which is clearly written. I am not giving this book 5 stars because I would have liked more detail and more information. This book was written based on classes about Islamic fundamentalism and ISIS that the author gave to his young niece. The book reflects this in its length, simplicity and easiness to read. It should be read by all young people interested in the workings of todays world, also by more informed adults who want a quick overview. I would highly recommend as high school reading.

Regrettably, I don’t understand why books are exempted from delivering them to an amazon box.

Worth reading it!
