Gulf Charities and Islamic Philanthropy in the "Age of Terror" and
Beyond is the first book to be published on the charities of Saudi
Arabia and the Arabian Gulf, covering their work both domestic and
international. From a diversity of viewpoints, the book addresses:
the historical roots of Islamic philanthropy in religious
traditions and geopolitical movements; the interactions of the Gulf
charities with "Western" relief and development institutions - now
under pressure owing to budgetary constraints; numerous case
studies from the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia; the impact of
violent extremism on the sector, with the legal repercussions that
have followed - especially in the USA; the recent history of
attempts to alleviate the obstacles faced by bona fide Islamic
charities, whose absence from major conflict zones now leaves a
vacuum for extremist groups to penetrate; the prospects for a less
politicized Islamic charity sector when the so-called "war on
terror" eventually loses its salience.
