1. The Call
Inside the Global Saudi Religious Project
An investigative account of Saudi Arabia’s decades-long campaign to export ultraconservative Islam through funding, missionaries, schools, charities, and media, following its reach into places like Indonesia, Nigeria, and Kosovo. Drawing on extensive field reporting and interviews, it maps the networks of da‘wa, soft power, and political patronage, and assesses the complex, uneven consequences—from piety and institution-building to sectarianism and militancy—while questioning how recent reform rhetoric intersects with the enduring legacy of this global religious project.
