AAM Insight interviews author and journalist Deborah Scroggins
Submitted by admin on Sun, 02/19/2012 - 17:44(Washington DC – February 19, 2012) Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born author and activist who was notoriously threatened with death for her criticisms of Islam, and Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist who for a long time was the only woman wanted for her association with al-Qaeda, come from the same generation of highly-educated Muslim women influenced by Islamism.
AAM sits down with award-winning author and journalist Deborah Scroggins whose recent book, “Wanted Women: Faith, Lies and the War on Terror,” traces their origins to explain why they chose opposite paths and how each has risen to become revered and reviled as an international symbol of her beliefs.
