Journal Entry 1 by Profs-Lady from Philomath, Oregon USA on Tuesday, November 18, 2014
A true story, Nonie Darwish tells about her upbringing as a Muslim, first in the Gaza Strip as a young child and then in Cairo after her father's assassination there when she was 8 years old. As a precocious child, Nonie could never understand why her people hated the Jews so terribly, and why they seemed hell-bent on wiping every Jew off the face of the earth; knowing no peace until the job was accomplish. Nor could she understand how her father could be dead - never to return to his family again. Nonie asked questions she shouldn't be asking, and she delved into subjects no respectful female was supposed to broach. At 30 she married a Christian Egyptian, and because of the great persecution going on regarding this group of people at the time, they moved to the United States. Nonie was immediately overjoyed with her new country and basked in her freedoms and so many little pleasures she could never have known back home. When her spiritual life seemed a bit empty, she went to the mosque in Los Angeles and was horrified to hear the "preacher" preaching death to the Americans and hatred for the infidel! Upon her return to Cairo, with her second husband and her 3 children, excited for them to see where she had been raised, she was again horrified to find the same old hatred, jealousy, and discord that she'd left 20 years before, believing that, surely, by now, things would have eased up. Her return to America from this trip was on September 10, 2001, the day before the towers were hit in New York City. Totally horrified she sought some reassurance from family and friends in Egypt that they were as horrified as she was, but only found opposition to her, hostility, and some calling her a traitor. It was time to tell her story and try to help American's understand what they were up against and the horrors that would surely come upon them if they did not stop this invasion of their country. WWIII is in the process, but it isn't with atomic bombs.
