About Unholy Kingdom: Religion, Corruption and Violence in Saudi Arabia

A short history of modern Saudi Religion, Oil, and DynastyReveals a riveting portrait of a nation mired in complexities. In recent years Saudi Arabia has promoted itself as an open oil-rich but investing in culture, tourism, social innovation, and establishing itself as a beacon in the Middle East mired in violence. But the murder in October 2018 of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Istanbul embassy reveals a darker the intensification of the repression of religious and political criticism and protest driven by the war in Yemen, sectarian rivalry with Iran, and volatile relations with the United States during the Trump administration.In Unholy Kingdom , Malise Ruthven a leading commentator on Islamic affairs , reconstructs the history of the nation and shows how its attempts to modernise itself have produced repression, corruption, and war across the region fuelled by themassive arms purchases paid for by the oil exports that contribute to global warming. In particular he shows how the royal House of Saud has co-opted Wahhabism to consolidate its power and enforce a strict authoritarian regime over its people in collusion with Western businesses and governments. The book looks to Saudi’s future in the hands of crown prince MBS who, on one hand, isdriving the country’s liberalisation, while on the other, is imposing his autocratic will upon the region through cyber-manipulation, economics and war.
