Three times since World War II, Moscow had sent Communists from among Russia's large Moslem population to Mecca. Their mission: to spread the word that the U.S.S.R. is really the nearest thing to Mohammedan paradise and that the imperialist U.S. is out to exploit all Moslems...
...Rusi went too, yelling such things as: "You're no pilgrims; you're Communist propagandists! You serve the Moscow atheists!"

His present share: $200 million a year. A strict Moslem, who forbade smoking, drinking and even non-Moslem churches among the foreigners who came to draw his oil, he nevertheless took to modern inventions like a child let loose in Toyland, eventually had his palaces festooned with telephones and radios, his courtyards teeming with fleets of automobiles...
