Saudi Arabia: Books Inciting for Jihad Sold Openly
But of course. This should surprise no one, since, as a matter of fact, Jihad is an integral part of Islam, and Mohammad himself praised Jihad as the greatest duty for a Muslim. We are not at war with "extremism", "Salafism", or whatever other "ism" allows us to keep our fantasy world intact: we are at war with Islam: Books preaching jihad sold in Saudi
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, May 2 (UPI) -- Books inciting Saudi youth to enroll in holy war that include religious edicts condoning suicide bombing are being sold in bookstores.Saudi daily al-Watan reported Tuesday that the books are being sold openly in bookshops in the city of Brida, north of the capital Riyadh, promising paradise for martyrs who come out to fight "infidels" by exploding themselves.
The books included edicts that inflame the emotions of young Muslims and encourage them to earn honors and virtue through martyrdom.
Some edicts also encourage suicide operations through extensive analysis of means and justification. Martyrdom was described as the highest expression of legitimate jihad, or holy war.
