[...] Now comes the story about the recall and destruction of Alms for Jihad: Charity and Terrorism in the Islamic World, a book published just last year and now becoming scarce at the behest of Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz. From this source: I’ve gotten numerous reports from readers who have attempted to purchase Alms for Jihad from Books a Million and elsewhere, only to have the purchase denied because that title is currently unavailable. That’s because, as Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld and I discussed earlier this week, Khalid bin Mafouz has successfully bullied the Cambridge University Press into pulping the book. Cambridge has even sent out notices to have it removed from some libraries… [...]

[...] The book pictured above, Alms for Jihad, got a number of very good reviews from mainstream publications and from readers. But you can’t find it in any bookstore. A copy sold on eBay for $135 recently, but no others are available. It has been withdrawn by its publisher, Cambridge University Press, and “pulped“, amid profuse apologies to the perps named in the book. Why? Mark Steyn explains: Who is Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz? Well, he’s a very wealthy and influential Saudi. Big deal, you say. Is there any other kind? Yes, but even by the standards of very wealthy and influential Saudis, this guy is plugged in: He was the personal banker to the Saudi royal family and head of the National Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia, until he sold it to the Saudi government. He has a swanky pad in London and an Irish passport and multiple U.S. business connections, including to Thomas Kean, the chairman of the 9/11 Commission. [...]

[...] Alms for Jihad August 4th, 2007 I’m just catching up on all the good work Stanley Kurtz and others are doing on the book-pulping intimidation our friends the Saudis are doing. The target, but by no means the only one, is Alms for Jihad. Note that it is “not available” on Amazon as a book anymore. I’m trying to buy it as a download, but it isn’t working. Amazon took my money, though, so I’m going to insist. This post on Hot Air may mean all I get is a refund. [...]

To a guy richer than Richie Rich. Why didn’t he just go into the publishing business, buy the books he didn’t like and not publish them.

Oh, I am continually surprised and appalled at the hypocritical stories of the left supressing anything that doesn’t agree with their narrow view of the world.

Well it seems to me that Cambridge probably gets a whole lot of money from Middle East sponsors. And it seems to me that those sources were threatening to dry up.

All the more reason to dry up the funding by taking over the Oil. The left says we engaged in a war for oil…then lets go ahead and actually be engaged in a war for oil. We take over the oil fields and that problem is gone.

Seems to me that there must be a legal remedy here.

Someday this whole thing is going to be settled in streets, fields, and hills somewhere. It won’t be with attorneys or diplomats.

I would recommend reviewing the 2nd amendment and exercising it. If you don’t find yourself in teh streets, fields, or in the hills, you might find you need something to protect your own.
