Divine Intervention: Episode # 149: Muslim Shahid's (Martyr's) Daughter, Nonie Darwish

Hi friends!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to grow up in a society stuck between Islamic fundamentalism on one side, and a totalitarian police state on the other? On this episode of Divine Intervention, we find out as we welcome Nonie Darwish, the daughter of a Muslim shahid (martyr).

Born in Egypt, Darwish is the daughter of an Egyptian Army Lieutenant General, who, when assassinated by the Israeli army in 1956, was called a “shahid” by the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, although Darwish blames “the Middle Eastern Islamic culture and the propaganda of hatred taught to children from birth” for the assassination. In 1978, she moved with her husband to the United States, and converted to Christianity there. After September 11, 2001 she has written on Islam-related topics.

Darwish is now an American human rights activist, writer, public speaker and founder of Arabs For Israel. She is the author of the book Now they Call Me Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel and the War on Terror. Her second book is Cruel And Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law. Her third book is called "The Devil We Don't Know." Her speech topics cover human rights, with an emphasis on women’s’ rights and minority rights in the Middle East.
