This is a really good book on the subject.
ETA: I just got to that part of the podcast and had no idea this was the book he was referencing. This was a REALLY good book if you want to understand the roots of modern Islamic terrorism. The Saudis used French special forces and American pilots because none of the Saudis could do either. The Saudi military used American gear a REALLY buttfucked Mecca, like using TOW missiles against snipers in minarets.
yes i know about the mosque seizure , you can read this book The siege of mecca
>Also in December of 1979, the Soviet Union, an atheist state, invaded Afghanistan, an Islamic state. Why do all of these tie in together?
and hence the saudis pakis and umerikans created the taliban
