Defying Jihad: The Dramatic True Story of a Woman Who Volunteered to Kill Infidels—and Then Faced Death for Becoming One by Esther Ahmad
5.0
This book begins with Zakhira Ahmad being dragged out into the street of her hometown in Pakistan in front of an angry crowd that wants to kill her because she has converted to Christianity. The person leading the angry crowd? Her own father.
The narrative stops there and switches to the beginning of her story, how she grew up a faithful Muslim, indeed better educated by far than most Muslims—a fact that will come to play in her story. How her father is radicalized by radical Muslims and becomes devout himself, and how Zakhira decides to dedicate her life to Allah by becoming a suicide bomber.
