The Two Faces of Islam: The House of Saud from Tradition to Terror by Stephen Schwartz
(New York Times) Reviewed by Richard Bernstein - In April 2002, seven months after the attacks of Sept. 11, a Saudi cleric named Sheikh Saad al-Buraik, preaching in a mosque in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, called for the enslavement of Jewish women by Muslim men. "Do not have mercy or compassion toward the Jews," he said. "Their women are yours to take, legitimately. God made them yours." Al-Buraik was a member of the official Saudi delegation that accompanied Crown Prince Abdullah during his visit to President Bush in Crawford, Texas, at the end of April 2002.
