Nomad : from Islam to America--a personal journey through the clash of civilizations Cover Image Book

Nomad : from Islam to America--a personal journey through the clash of civilizations / Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

Hirsi Ali, Ayaan, 1969- (Author).

Summary:

Hirsi Ali tells of coming to America to build a new life, an ocean away from the death threats made to her by European Islamists, the strife she witnessed, and the inner conflict she suffered. She calls on key institutions of the West--including universities, the feminist movement, and the Christian churches--to enact specific, innovative remedies that would help other Muslim immigrants to overcome the challenges she has experienced and to resist the fatal allure of fundamentalism and terrorism.
