Synopsis

What motivates Islamic terrorists? What's in the mind of terror?

News reports cover the tragic events — the bombings, the massacres, and the suicide attacks. Our newscasters take time to explain who the players are — from Hezbollah to the Iranian Quds, from ISIS to the Palestinian National Authority. But what is behind these events that fuels atrocity after atrocity? Tass Saada provides the answer as he delves into the mind of terror, explaining what motivates extremist groups throughout the Middle East. A former Muslim and a onetime sniper with Yasser Arafat’s Fatah organization, Tass has had that mindset himself. But at age forty-two, he steered his life in a radical new direction. Tass not only describes the motivations and aspirations of those who live in the Middle East, he also outlines a peaceful solution. We can plant seeds of hope that will transform not only the Middle East but also our increasingly diverse neighborhoods at home.

Goodreads review by Dusty

I’d heard about Tass from my Mom. Tass was, at one point in his life, a sniper for Yasser Arafat’s group Fatah. After an encounter with Jesus, he became a Christian—though that is covered in more detail in a different book that’s now high on my reading list. This book discusses the inside of a terror......more

Goodreads review by Mahonri

I thought this book was well written and gets straight to the point of what the author believes are the problems plaguing Israel today. However, from the outside the book does not explain that it is mostly religious and the authors spiritual beliefs are plastered all over the book. I rated 3 stars b......more

Goodreads review by Van

This is a good book and well-written, but not exactly what I was expecting. While you can't mention terrorism and what's going on with ISIS without delving deep into religion, most of this book was focused on how Christianity is the end-all solution to the problems going on. As a Christian myself, I......more

Goodreads review by Ashleigh

This is an excellent book! It really opens the western mind to how Muslims think. Tass was not derogatory toward any culture (Jewish, Christian, or Muslim). It was definitely worth my time to read it!......more
