Al-Ghareeb explores Juhayman questions
The article discusses the book "The Stranger: A Study of Mahdist Extremism" by Dr. Latifa Al-Shalan. The book explores the reasons behind the emergence of extremist ideas, such as those held by Juhayman al-Otaybi, and their impact on Saudi history and society. It links Juhayman's internal experiences to the formation of his Mahdist awareness, emphasizing psychological and social factors that led to the storming of the Grand Mosque in 1979. The book highlights the importance of understanding these events to comprehend the causes of extremism and demonstrates that a historical narrative supported by psychoanalytic analysis can help interpret how such ideas influence individual behavior. This underscores the necessity of studying the stages through which convictions form and how group dynamics affect individuals in order to develop preventive tools against extremism.
