 ... and believable, it forces you to examine the central concepts of Qaeda's arguements that the West is corrupted and marries it to the Islamic faith without deamonising all followers of Islam - surprising given that every Muslim you meet in the book is a member of the terror organisation with the exception of Wells himself, who seems to very much lose his faith after he returns to the US, the reasons for which are neatly explained with the discovery that his Mom is dead and his ex wife wont allow him to see his youn...more
