'Extremist' books seized from libraries in Saudi Arabia By Mariam Al Hakeem, Correspondent gulfnews.com Riyadh: The Saudi authorities have launched a massive campaign to remove books that incite extremist ideas and deviant thoughts from public libraries across the kingdom. Reports indicate that several books, which instill extremist views in the minds of the younger generation, have been seized during the ongoing campaign. The confiscated books included one titled Reliance on Soldiers as the Weapons of Jihad, and a Summary about Rewards for Jihad. Hundreds of copies of this book were seized from several public libraries in Buraida, the capital of the northern province of Al Qasim, which is regarded as a hotbed of extremism in the kingdom. The book gives a detailed sketch of topics such as liberation struggles and battles of conquest throughout the centuries, what is required by warriors, besides the importance of waging jihad and its rewards. It also stresses the need for Muslims to wear explosive-laden belts and to let these off in the midst of non-Muslims.
