Outrageous Covers at a Saudi Book Fair

After 250 years, the Saudi dynasty under Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman appears cautiously to be exiting the Wahhabi hammerlock. But books on display at the 2019 Riyadh International Book Fair gave no hint of this, as suggested by the following selection of current titles with an emphasis on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

This list complements the 22 “Cairene Book Covers” that I published in 2008. Although the new list focuses more narrowly on Jews, Judaism, Zionism, and Israel, they tend to overlap. Note the multiple books by or about Hitler; or titles like The Roots of Jewish Violence (Cairo) and The Torah Dimension in Israeli Terrorism (Riyadh).

The indoctrination of antisemitism and anti-Zionism continues unabated. It’s going to be a long time before MbS’ changes trickle way down to the level of the Riyadh International Book Fair.

Daniel Pipes

Daniel Pipes, a historian, has led the Middle East Forum since its founding in 1994. He taught at Chicago, Harvard, Pepperdine, and the U.S. Naval War College. He served in five U.S. administrations, received two presidential appointments, and testified before many congressional committees. The author of 16 books on the Middle East, Islam, and other topics, Mr. Pipes writes a column for the Washington Times and the Spectator; his work has been translated into 39 languages. DanielPipes.org contains an archive of his writings and media appearances; he tweets at @DanielPipes. He received both his A.B. and Ph.D. from Harvard. The Washington Post deems him “perhaps the most prominent U.S. scholar on radical Islam.” Al-Qaeda invited Mr. Pipes to convert and Edward Said called him an “Orientalist.”
