Jones, associate editor at Young Research & Publishing, why he left the Hudson Valley region of New York, Connecticut’s neighbor, where he grew up. No surprise to me.

What is Wahhabism? And Why it Should Terrify You
PBS has collected interviews from various experts on Islam about the fundamentalist sect, Wahhabism, popular in Saudi Arabia. The descriptions of Wahhabism are terrifying in their implications.
