I've always hated Osama bin Laden, but the main reason I picked up this book was because I wanted to know his family and their take on his evil deeds.
This book was an utterly satisfying explanation of how Osama became the demon no one would ever expect him to become. Osama was 17 and Najwa Ghanem, his first wife, was 14 when they married. He made her agree to discontinue her studies, which made me hate him more.
In the book, I was frustrated at Najwa's obedience and compliance with Osama's insanity. She never even once called him an animal, a monster, or a curse to humanity, as I have many times, before and after reading this book.
I hated Osama more than ever after reading this book. But guess what? I've learned how he became the man that everyone recognizes as a terrorist. He thought he was doing Muslims a favor by becoming anti-Western and destroying anyone who was a supporter of Israel.
He even ended up killing Muslims to accomplish his mission.
Osama's wife is a very sweet and docile woman. I love how she calmly shares her story with us. At first, I was captivated by her point of view and wanted her story more than anyone else's because as a female, I felt for her and the unknown oppression she was living under. Hiding her body and living in complete "purdah" must have been awful. She hardly connected with her family back at home, and she went from living a life of wealth to living in complete danger and poverty, in Afghanistan.
Later on, however, Omar's point of view became very interesting as he was the one who witnessed Osama's path to violence and how he became a monster before his family's very eyes. Omar's view showed me a lot of what I call "insider" information.
Osama began training his sons to become increasingly violent, whereas Omar had a heart for animals and wanted peace. He opposed his father and even went as far as questioning why his father was preaching violence in the name of Islam. He didn't feel a thirst for blood, like his caveman barbaric and long-bearded greasy dad.
Omar and Najwa are wonderful and kindhearted people who care for their families and don't hate anyone, not even the West. Omar had grown up to hate but surprisingly is more gentle and caring than most people I know in real life, that live right here in the United States.
For those of you who hate Osama, hate him as much as you please, but keep his family out of the picture. One of his wives ended up divorcing him and taking her children with her because she had an advanced education and couldn't stand the archaic views he had and the terrible conditions he put them in for the sake of "tests".
Osama bin Laden, you're a disgusting and evil terrorist who killed millions, thinking you were doing Muslims a favor. Instead, you harmed your own family and many innocent Muslims in the process. This book is exposing your evil and unrepentant black heart to the world, and I want everyone to read it so they can know the truth.
