Summary: Strong on Diagnosis - Weak on Remedy
Review: I gave this powerful exposé of Saudi complicity with global terrorism four stars instead of five since I was disappointed with the proposed solutions. But there is no question that this book goes further than any other in opening the vaults to Saudi secrecy. It covers their past, present, and future; it gives names, dates, sources, and exact quotations; it lays out financial evidence with checks, spreadsheets, and correspondences. All prove conclusively that Saudi Arabia is, and has been, a profound enemy of Western liberalism and is behind today's terror networks. He makes the case clearly that the Saudis have "provided the delivery system" to carry hatred and terrorism worldwide. Many topics in the book have been discussed or written about in the media since September 11th. What the book does, though, is assemble the key facts in a nice, easy to read format. Until this book, we've only been fed sporadic or disconnected details, clues, innuendoes, and history, all of them quickly denied or whitewashed by the Saudis and their highly-paid American p.r. consultants. But as deep as this book goes into exposing their support of global terrorism, with hundreds of citations, I had the feeling that I'd only seen the tip of the iceberg. The final chapter of the book, "Ending the Hatred," did not offer me reason for hope, unfortunately. Some of the solutions proposed make nice reading but are highly unrealistic. He proposes that the international community take steps, for instance, to "monitor" and deal with "incitement and hatred emanating from mosques and featured in textbooks or on national television networks." He hopes, in effect, that we can have the "international community...make the Saudis adhere to minimal standards of international behavior..." Not a chance! We couldn't even get European allies to help us remove Iraq's mafia regime or destroy their illegal weapons. The possibility that a world community could agree on definitions of "hatred" or "incitement" speech, or agree on "standards of international behavior," are not great. Not in a world where slavery and religious wars still exist. Although Gold uncovered the roots of global terrorism in Saudi Arabia, and offers some solutions for its control, he did not spend enough time uncovering the soil that supports those roots: petrodollars. He briefly mentions that "the Saudi kingdom has provided not only the ideology that motivates terrorists but also manpower and seemingly endless supplies of money for terror operations." He writes how the "explosion of oil prices in 1973 provided Saudi Arabia with vast financial resources... ." And he includes a quote from Bernard Lewis explaining how "...oil money has enabled them to spread this fanatical, destructive form of Islam all over the Muslim world and ... the West. Without oil ... Wahhabism would have remained a lunatic fringe." But incorporating the idea that this vast and practically unlimited supply of oil wealth is part of the problem, and should be part of the solution, was not done. I would have liked Mr. Gold to have pushed the creativity envelope a bit more. For instance, we know that Saudi Arabia has used the "oil weapon" against the U.S. Is oil being used as a "weapon" again, this time as a "weapon of mass destruction," if its profits are being used to sponsor the likes of Osama Bin Laden or Al Qaeda? Can a nation be allowed to intentionally misuse and violate Earth's natural resources for the express purpose of spreading hatred or undermining Western civilization? After all, the rights of nations to declare specific and measurable rights to their airspace, coastline, and underground minerals were agreed to recently and are still disputed. Are those rights immune from interference under all circumstances? Could a nation's "right of self defense" be expanded to include a "right of repossession" (of previously nationalized oil concessions) if its survival is threatened? In any case, I was not inspired by Mr. Gold's proposed solutions as being realistic, but clearly we must get serious. This book is a great start!

Summary: let's chase the extermists from both sides
Review: After reading this book i have realized who is full of haterd its those pepole who are trying to triger wars and conflicts by poisning peples minds with lies.
I feel very sad when i read such books which are written by pepole with known backgrounds and intersts.
its an advice for every one looking for the truth, do not read about a nation from their enemis, isralis and arabs are in war for almost a century now.
I'm not defending the saudi's but i cant accept to accuse any pepole's relligon with terrorism.

Summary: Superb Book
Review: This is an extraordinarily interesting, informative, and compelling book. It describes in detail the vicious, xenophobic, bigoted, bloodthirsty and expansionist ideology of Wahhabism, its historical impact on the region, and its commanding influence on today's terrorist movements.
The book is also extremely well-written, and carefully documented.
The only question one has, after reading the book, is why a topic so critical to American domestic security, and American policy in the Middle East, should so rarely be mentioned in the American media.

Summary: Wake up Call for the West!!
Review: While the current east/west conflict is reportedly NOT about religion, it does need to be about fanaticism and hatered and how it is instilled in the youth through religious training in the Saudi Schools (warning to the west here, don't let religion in the public schools!) and how the United States in it's "politically correct bias" glosses over the real problem of hate, financial support of hate, and the relationship between oil and blackmail and terrorism. We are fighting the wrong enemy when we go after Iraq. Gold's book is a wake-up call for all countries that want civilization to continue and improve. Read it. Act on it.

Summary: Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney should have read this
Review: Hatred's Kingdom is not the kind of easy read you want to finish
in a day. It might have helped if Gold had provided a time-line or chart of the significant names in Wahhabism "history" as well as other mid-Eastern countries and names. It was tough for me to keep things straight until about the fifth chapter.
It is well-researched, and helpful in understanding the situation in Irag. It is also frightening. Don't our administration and military leaders have this background inform-ation? Many people have been wondering why our president keeps telling us that the Saudis are our friends...as if none of the
9-11 conspirators were Saudi. Read this and decide for yourself.
The problem with reading this book is that it reinforces my
feelings of helplessness and confusion as to why our "leaders" think Iraq if our biggest problem, and why anyone would think
everyone in Iraq would, or ever will, lay down their arms and
welcome us as their "liberators".
I think it is absolutely essential that we "liberators" under-stand the connection between the Wahhabis & education/educators in the mid-Eastern countries. That concept is at the core of this book and it is an extremely important one.

Summary: It's fair, fair review, I'm Swiss
Review: Before reading this book I had my carnal knowledge of Saudi Arabia, and just thought a few Saudi's were in fact acting on their own in the scheme of world terror. As I read this book I had to research out every accusation and event. From every data base I thoroughly checked, Dore Gold is in fact presenting true facts. Ok, maybe his opinion could be argued as biased, but not one actual circumstance in this book comes from invention or opinion, it is all one hundred percent supported fact that can in fact be checked, even with declassified CIA files. I found zero falsehood in this truthful account. I do recommend this along with SB 1 or God by Karl Mark Maddox.

Summary: A Real Eye-Opener for Americans...
Review: Think the Saudis are America's allies? You'll think again after reading Dore Gold's book, "Hatred's Kingdom." Gold, a former Israeli Ambassador to the UN, exposes the hatred of Wahhabism, the Saudi based fundamentalist Islamic sect that has financed and supported worldwide terrorism, teaches the kind of fundamentalism embraced by Afghanistan's Taliban as well as bin Laden's (also a Saudi) al Qaeda movement. Dore Gold explicitly shows how Saudi Arabia finances global terrorism and links this support to the rise of Wahhabism in that nation. Gold's historical work on the rise of Wahhabism via the emergence of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and its influence on the Saudi government is really well researched. His contemporary links and research have been criticized, but the book is still compelling. All-in-all, Gold makes a strong case for Wahhabism being the backbone of Islamic fundamentalist terror. "Hatred's Kingdom" is a real eye-opener for Americans raised on the belief that "The Saudis are our friends."

Summary: from someone lives there
Review: guess what, I live in what Mr. Gold say as the "Hatred Kingdom". my review is simply this: Facts are facts and they don't change, Interpretation of these facts is what could change". First of all, blaming all terrorist actions in the world on this government only is like blaming all dieing animals on the wolf just because we hate wolves more than other prediators. it is really shallow minded and small thinking. Second, I didn't like the way he talk about us as if we came from the planet of apes, generalize that most of us are haters just because a tiny fraction -only 15- of us are terrorists, it is more of stereotyping than analyzing.
