A proposito di questo titolo

In November 1979, the Grand Mosque in Mecca — the holiest site in Islam — was seized by hundreds of armed insurgents led by Juhayman al-Otaybi. For two weeks, Saudi authorities struggled to reclaim the mosque, eventually calling in French commandos and using toxic gas. The siege exposed deep fractures within Saudi society: the rise of religious extremism, the challenge to the House of Saud's legitimacy, and the monarchy's subsequent turn toward conservative policies. This episode dives into the details of the siege — the leader Juhayman, his ideology, the role of the Mahdi figure Muhammad al-Qahtani, the government's response, and the long-term impact on Saudi Arabia's religious and political trajectory. We also discuss the 1987 Mecca incident, the legacy of the siege, and how it reshaped the kingdom's identity.
