Unveiled Threat: A Personal Experience of Fundamentalist Islam and the Roots of Terrorism
In the world of fundamentalist Islam, a woman who refuses to submit is an unveiled threat, especially if she knows how to follow the money
In 1978, Janet Tavakoli, a lapsed Catholic born and raised in the United States, moved to Iran with her husband. The large class divide, grand ambitions of the insecure Shah, discontent among religious leaders, brutality of the dictatorship, and, crucially, an old grudge against the United States, were about to spark the Islamic revolution. A year later, she left her husband and Iran behind and began her career as a globally renowned financial derivatives expert. In 1993, she was in the World Trade Center complex when terrorists detonated a bomb in the parking garage of the North Tower.
In September 2014, Tavakoli asked His Excellency Iyad bin Amin Madani, Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), why criminals from so many different countries and cultures continue to band together in the name of Islam to commit mayhem and murder authorized by the highest levels of Islamic clergy.
He dodged the question.
This book is her answer based on her personal experiences and study of the roots of terrorism.

RW Note: I have not read this book yet and have no opinion on it at present. I am merely posting this notice because of Janet's email. I hope to read the book in the near future and then provide a full review, My gut tells me that because of the unique personal experience she is telling in the book I will find parts fascinating, but I will probably not agree with all of her views in the book.
