Nonie Darwish was the daughter of a senior Egyptian intelligence officer who was killed while fighting against the Israelis and became an honoured "shahid", a martyr for jihad. She grew up learning the same lessons as millions of Muslim children: to hate Jews, destroy Israel, oppose America, and submit to dictatorship. But Darwish became increasingly appalled by the anger and hatred in her culture, and in 1978 she emigrated to America.
