You'll hear about how peace & forgiveness are "alien concepts" in an Islamic culture, the rise of Muslim immigrants assimilating into American culture, and their desire to convert America to Islam.

"I felt free for the first time in my life." - Nonie Darwish

About the book:

The recent powerful wave of Middle East uprisings has fueled both hope and trepidation in the region and around the world as the ultimate fate—and fallout—of the Arab Spring continue to hang in the balance. Born and raised as a Muslim in Egypt and now living in the United States, Nonie Darwish brings an informed perspective to this carefully considered assessment of the potential outcome of the revolutions in the Middle East. This thought-provoking book will add to the ongoing debate on what the future holds for the people and the politics of the region and on the ultimate compatibility of freedom and democracy in the Muslim world.

More information about Nonie:

Former Muslims United - educating the American public & policymakers about the need for Muslims to repudiate the threat from authoritative Shariah to the religious freedom & safety of former Muslims
Arabs for Israel - Arabs & Muslims who support the state of Israel & the cause of peace in the Middle East.

Above all, seek the truth in everything you do.
