Deborah Scroggins – Wanted Women
David welcomes former AJC reporter and author Deborah Scroggins to talk about her latest book Wanted Women: Faith, Lies, and the War on Terror. This book contrasts the lives of two Muslim women who took two very different paths. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali born activist and writer, denounced her religion shortly following the events of 9/11 and has spoke out against the Islamic faith since that day. On the other hand, Aafia Siddiqui was once a promising young student of neuroscience in the United States when she became involved with al-Qaeda and found herself as one of the most wanted terrorist on the planet.
