Nonie Darwish is one of the bravest women in the world. She goes where few dare to tread, exposing the hatred embodied in the Muslim world today. Born and raised in a high-society, Egyptian Muslim family, Darwish gives a rare insight into the complex mindset that condones terrorism and applauds honor killings. Darwish discovered the difference in how Americans think, and realized that what fuels Jihad is the indoctrination of young Muslims in hatred and the "evil eye."

This is a fascinating book that will open the minds of complacent Americans to the very real threat of Sharia law over the entire world. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has the stamina to educate yourself about why we are fighting the War on Terror. In story form, Darwish gives unparalleled access into the thinking of the Muslim world.

I thought of this book when I saw the TV program "Honor Killing in America." I was somewhat prepared for such a horrifying attitude. The men and some women approve of killing female family members who break the rules set up by men. This is the law of radical Islam which some Muslims want to replace the laws in Western civilization.

The book will give great insight into a world which is often hidden from Western people. Is she trying to scare us? Well, we need the insights she offers from her personal experiences as she moved from hatred to love. We need to understand her fears especially in the light of "honor killings." It would seem that the National Organization for Women would be coming to women's defense on this.

I don't need to repeat what so many other reviews have said. I do highly recommend this as a real eye-opener. She has no reason not to be telling the truth. The negative reviews only clarify the fear these women must feel. I wonder how a woman president would handle "honor killings?"

This is a most frightening and enlightening book for those of us unfamilular witht he Muslum religion. All of Amercia should read this most informative and frightening book.

This book helped me better understand the mindset of a people that I didn't know before, why they think and act differently that I am accustomed.

I have read a number of books on Islam that were written by people who have done a great deal of research and have gained considable knowledge (and that is good; don't misunderstand me). But Mrs. Darwish has written a riveting, firsthand account of life under Islam, dictatorship, hate, deceit, oppression, anger, and envy that I found difficult to put down. A most excellent work--a true eye opener--I wish everyone in America would read it. Too many people have been lulled into complacency by the media, which generally glosses over Islamic atrocities--either from fear or because of the perceived need to be politically correct. She has presented these things in their unvarnished reality and has compared them with what she found in America.

Thank you, Mrs. Darwish, for writing this book and sharing the story of your life in the third world and in America.

I have met and had lunch with Nonie Darwish. She gave me a testimonial for my forthcoming book: "Citizen Soldier Handbook: 101 Ways Every American Can Fight Terrorism". She is bright, courageous and insightful. She grew up in Egypt and learned at an early age to hate the Jews. Her father was a high ranking member of Nasser's (before Mubarak) Egyptian Army. was martyred in fighting against Israel. As a result, her family had great `honor' and position. But she started questioning why the Jews were hated. And how this perpetuated sensibility affected her life and the lives of others. Her eeducation at the American University of Cairo opened her eyes to discussion and critical thinking. Even her own people had always considered Egypt a `Muslim' country - even though it was a country conquered by the invading hordes. After all, why is there Egyptian spoken language? She learned that Israel existed long ago and began asking more and more questions. She realized that Arab media was manipulative and excluded the truth.

This book is more than just an autobiographical journey. She is taking us from a place of hatred to a place of understanding. She has had and still gets numerous threats for her writing and speaking. She appreciate America and Israel.

In this book, Nonie Darwish traces her life from a childhood spent as the daughter of a Muslim shahid in Egypt to her adult life as a conservative Christian in the United States. This amazing transformation took place because of her insight into the hatred preached by Muslims whose goal in life was to eradicate Israel and the United States. Instead she sought freedom and security in America, a country she has come to love and admire. She shows the Arab culture from the inside and she describes the inhumane treatment of people, especially women, who are under sharia law.
She explains how Muslim customs dehumanize people and cause a breakdown in the family and in society. She feels that her purpose in life is to warn Americans about the dangers of Islam and the true intentions of a culture that is, even now, working its way into America via immigration and influencing our citizens, especially on college campuses. This is an eye-opening book and should be required reading for Americans.

This is a book that every thinking American should read! Its insight into the Muslin world and the Muslims' way of thinking is imperative to our understanding of why we are having so much trouble trying to impose our standards on them. They are taught hatred of Americans from birth -- how can we hope to change that? If you want to improve your insight into the present conflict in Iraq and understand the problems there, you MUST read this book!
