My year inside radical Islam : a memoir / by Gartenstein-Ross, Daveed,1976-(CARDINAL)483235;
Includes bibliographical references (page 294).This memoir of first a spiritual and then a political seduction shows how a good faith can be distorted and a decent soul can be seduced away from its principles. Raised in liberal Ashland, Oregon, by parents who were Jewish by birth but dismissive of dogma, Gartenstein-Ross yearned for a religion that would suit all his ideals. At college in the late nineties he met a charismatic Muslim student who grounded his political activism with thoughtful religious conviction. Gartenstein-Ross reflects on his experience of converting to Islam--a process that began with a desire to connect with both a religious community and a spiritual practice, and eventually led him to sympathize with the most extreme interpretations of the faith. Gartenstein-Ross is now an attorney and a full-time counterterrorism consultant.--From publisher description.

Great Britain and France imposed mandates over several of the Arab provinces, beginning a trend of Western interference across the region. This resource documents the complex colonial history of the Middle East, the establishment of autonomous countries across the region, and the struggles each country faced in the early postcolonial years. Important events and key figures are documented, illustrating how the region's colonial history continues to affect its modern politics, societies, economies, and international relations"--From the publisher's web site.10.7-12+.9-12Z
