520 8  Annotation|bGulf 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.
