The Meccan Rebellion: The Story of Juhayman al-'Utaybi Revisited
- Used Book in Good Condition
Based on new information gathered from extensive fieldwork in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, this account sheds light on the story and legacy of Juhayman al-Â‘Utaybi, the militant who led the 1979 takeover of Islamâ€™s holiest site: the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Detailing the events that would set in motion numerous attacksÂ on the U.S. embassy in PakistanÂ and Shia uprisings in oil-rich areas of Saudi Arabia, this record offers insight into the religious inspiration behind the rebel leaderâ€™s message and acknowledges many unanswered questions: Who were the rebels and what did they want? Why and how did Juhaymanâ€™s group come into existence? What was Juhayman al-Â‘Utaybiâ€™s ideological legacy and how have his writings influenced contemporary Islamist strains?
