The Saudi champions of Islam face a homegrown Islamic opposition.  "Holier Than Thou" analyzes the history of the religious establishment in Saudi Arabia from the kingdom’s beginnings to Usama Bin Ladin.  Joshua Teitelbaum sheds new light on the battle between the bearers of Wahhabi orthodoxy and their radical opponents and offers an assessment for Saudi-Islamist relations after King Fahd.
