From the pulpits of Riyadh to the seminaries of Texas, theology has been stripped of its ethical core and repurposed as a tool of empire. Blind Obedience exposes how two seemingly opposed religious movements-Christian Zionism in the West and Salafi-State Theology in the Arab world-operate through identical mechanisms of control: sacralizing state power, erasing victims, and suppressing dissent through theological framing.
Drawing on the Nuremberg trials, Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments, and Hannah Arendt's concept of the banality of evil, Sado Faraji constructs a devastating case that these theologies are not merely parallel corruptions of faith but interlocking components of a single Theological Security Architecture. Christian Zionism secures the domestic American political base for unconditional military engagement in the Middle East. Salafi-State Theology secures the internal stability of Gulf monarchies that anchor Western energy and security interests. Together, they form what Faraji calls the Obedience-Industrial Complex-a system in which finance, military power, and religious authority converge to manufacture consent for occupation, authoritarianism, and the silencing of justice.
The book traces this architecture from the Scofield Reference Bible's reshaping of American evangelical politics to the Saudi export of Madkhali quietism across the Muslim world. It documents the human cost-from the Nakba to the siege of Gaza-and confronts how both theological systems rendered Palestinian suffering invisible. Through the Abraham Accords, Faraji reveals the moment the Entanglement became visible: evangelical eschatology and Gulf state realpolitik converging to bypass Palestinian self-determination entirely.
But Blind Obedience is not only a critique. Its final movement recovers the prophetic traditions within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that insist God stands with the oppressed, not the oppressor. Drawing on the Kairos Document, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's costly grace, the Karbala paradigm, and the Palestinian concept of Sumud (steadfastness), Faraji constructs a theology of liberation grounded in historical precedent and movement-building practice.
This is a book for anyone who has felt the weight of systems that demand obedience and call it faith. It is for the scholars who speak truth to power, the dissenters who refuse silence, and the communities building justice from below.
