For Phyllis and Bernard Jacob, for many years of
guidance, love, and support. And as always, for my wife,
Jamie, and my children, Lily and Nicholas.

The Saudis are active at every level of the terror chain, from planners to financiers, from cadre to foot soldier, from ideologist to cheerleader.

—LAURENT MURAWIEC, RAND Corporation

Unless the ideological roots of the hatred that led to September 11 are addressed, the war on terrorism will not be won. It will be only a matter of time before the next Osama bin Laden emerges.

—DORE GOLD, Hatred’s Kingdom

We will control the land of the Vatican. We will control Rome and introduce Islam in it.

—SHEIKH MUHAMMAD BIN ABD AL-RAHMAN AL-ARIFI, Imam of the mosque at the King Fahd Defense Academy
