That theocracies do exist—and must be resisted by U.S. foreign policy—is ably demonstrated in the anthology Radical Islam's Rules: The Worldwide Spread of Extreme Shari'a Law. Edited by Paul Marshall, a senior fellow at Freedom House's Center for Religious Freedom, the book includes ten essays describing how radical Muslims—including the Wahhabists of Saudi Arabia—have fostered the rise of religion-based oppression worldwide.
