Bookstores in Dubai have ordered hundreds copies of a book recommended by Osama bin Laden after being inundated with customers wanting to buy it.

Bin Laden urged all Americans to read ‘Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s only Superpower’ by William Blum in a video statement released last week. He said it would explain why he and his followers despised the US.

Now Emirates bookstore owners say they have experienced strong demand for the book after all the worldwide publicity it received.

The book which Osama Bin Ladin has recommended jumped from no. 209,000 on Amazon’s sales list to no. 30 the day after Bin Ladin said in a recent audio release that: “It is useful for you to read the book ‘The Rogue State.’” [Source]
