Saudis & Terror
Current mood: mellow
Category: Travel and Places
One nice thing for me when traveling it gives me a good opportunity to catch up on reading. Presently I am reading a book called “Saudis & Terror: Cross-Cultural Views.” The book is published by Ghainaa Publications of Riyadh (www.ghainaa.com) (966.1.248.7871). The book is part of an international book project reflecting the various cultural views towards terror. It is a compilation of contributions from international scholars all around the world. In publishing the book, the publisher strived to meet 4 objectives:-clarifying the reality of terrorism and explaining its main concepts.-demonstrating the causes and motives of global terrorism.-illustrating the effects of capriciousness in the concept of terrorism and its international applications.-proving the possibility of the contributions of thinkers around the wrold in adopting a joint complementary position in regard to the core issues that affect man’s security and safety.Quite frankly I am finding it a dry read as it is a voluminous collection of research papers which all have the same primary theme. However at the same time I find it an interesting and illustrating read, particularly given the subject matter and published in the Kingdom. The book is written in English.I guess on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, I’d give it a rating of 5.5.2:23 AM - 0 Comments – 0 Kudos – Add Comment – Edit - Remove
