Perspectives, An Intriguing Tale Of An American Born Terrorist - Plot & Excerpts
My mother and father seemed to resign themselves to my new found independence which included a formal conversion to Islam. During those years I watched my cousin Islee blossom from a teenager into a woman and as she got older the emotional years between us became fewer and we became closer still. It was interesting for me to be able to experience the events of the 1980’s from both an American and an Iraqi perspective. My uncle was never bashful about sharing his views which were surprisingly objective. Islee didn’t seem to care and my aunt listened, but seldom voiced an opinion. Together we watched the effects of Saddam Hussein’s, Ronald Reagan’s and George Bush’s administrations on the people of Iraq and America. My uncle was right about the Iraq and Iran war. Iraq tried to win the war quickly and almost did, until the Ayatollah freed the military generals and pilots from the jails and prisons. I was very surprised that after being jailed they still would want to fight for him, but my uncle wasn’t surprised at all, saying, “All Muslims are willing to leave their blood in the soil of their country.
