Holy Warriors: A Fresh Look at the Face of Extreme Islam

By Frog Orr-Ewing

Book Overview

"We write this account of the Taliban with probably a unique experience and perspective on them. We have a story that intertwines our lives with theirs long before the twin towers were destroyed and the appalling attacks on America had wreaked their havoc. For much of the Western press, the Taliban were just another fundamentalist regime, renowned for their treatment of women, and their ultra-orthodoxy. They are a group now ingrained upon the visual imagination of the western world."Frog and Amy Orr-Ewing

Very Good

A very clever and sensitive book which challenges Muslims and non-Muslims alike; the authors draw on research and personal experience (they spoke face to face with the Taliban leaders in Afghanistan in 1996). They are careful to distinguish between extreme Islam and moderate Islam. Whether you are a Muslim or non-Muslim I think you will find this book interesting and helpful for understanding the roots of extreme Islam and how this ideology must be addressed.
