Synopsis "wanted women: faith, lies, and the war on terror: the lives of ayaan hirsi ali and aafia siddiqui (in English)"
"Scroggins illuminates not only the disconnect between the West's often one-dimensional perception of Islam and its multifaceted reality but the schisms within Islam itself. This meticulously researched, skillfully narrated account offers a nuanced look at political Islam and the "war on terror" through the eyes of two women on the front lines -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)The author of Emma's War offers a compelling account of the link between Muslim women's rights, Islamist opposition to the West, and the Global War on Terror, as explored through the experiences of two fascinating champions from opposing sides of the conflict: Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali and neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui.With Emma's War: An Aid Worker, A Warlord, Radical Islam and the Politics of Oil, journalist Deborah Scroggins achieved major international acclaim; now, in Wanted Women, Scroggins again exposes a crucial untold story from the center of an ongoing ideological war--laying bare the sexual and cultural stereotypes embraced by both sides of a conflict that threatens to engulf the world.
