Wahhabism Underpins Global Jihad [10min @17:00]

Historian Charles Allen joins a 45min roundtable discussion on the USA's Guantánamo detainment camp, detective fiction, and the UK's religion-sponsored public schools, to discuss the history of Wahhabism, the guiding ideology behind modern Islamist terrorism. His latest book, God's Terrorists (Little, Brown), is a history of the ideology underpinning global jihad and describes how the roots of an 18th century cult have grown to become a global threat."Start the Week" sets the cultural agenda every Monday.
