The author has a long history of reporting on the Middle East and takes the reader deep within the militant Islamic movements in ten Middle Eastern countries: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and Iran. She shows that there is not unified Arab world, so there is no unified Islam, for even in the Koran, God has ninety-nine names. The militant Islamic movements are as different as the countries n which they have arises, and the methods of combating these movements are equally diverse and of varying intensities. The author feels that the problems of underdevelopment and underemployment have permitted these militant groups to flourish. A clean very presentable copy.
