    Synopsis

    A political and personal odyssey from hatred to love

    When Nonie Darwish was a girl of eight, her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel. A high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad.

    Yet at an early age, Darwish developed a skeptical eye about her own Muslim culture and upbringing. Why the love of violence and hatred of Jews and Christians? Why the tolerance of glaring social injustices? Why blame America and Israel for everything?

    Today Darwish thrives as an American citizen, a Christian, a conservative Republican, and an advocate for Israel. To many, she is now an infidel. But she is risking her comfort and her safety to reveal the many politically incorrect truths about Muslim culture that she knows firsthand.

    Biography

    Nonie Darwish grew up in Cairo and Gaza, the daughter of a high-ranking Egyptian army officer. She now lectures around the country to civic organizations, universities, churches, and synagogues.

    April 17, 2008: I wasn't expecting our fellow moslem brothers to stand up and cheer for this book or author, it is obvious why. There is much room for improvement for people's lives ALL over middle east. Instead of continuing to blame the whole world for our own blindness, why not work harder to be more civilized. Every educated moslem woman could identify with this book and thank god/allah we can do that here in freedom. I doubt very much this book is even sold in moslem countries, it is called 'No freedom of Speech and even thought'. Keeping moslems, and half of our societies ignorant is not a solution but a red flag'. God Bless America.

    January 18, 2008: I was engaged to a Saudi and she tells the truth. I wised up in time, thank God! Everyone needs to hear this story (and others like it) before we make mistakes we'll regret as a nation, and as women. We must not allow the things that happened to Nonie Darwish in Egypt happen to young girls here. This book is a page-turner--a good read. It's completely candid in tone, but reasoned and not radical in any way. It just tells the truth of what happened to this woman. I recommend it heartily.
