Souad Mekhennet is a German-born Moroccan Muslim, a Washington Post correspondent, still based in Germany. This is her brave and powerful memoir. Her life and her quest are nothing less than THE modern story. As a journalist she has confronted some of the world´s killers, unmasked Jihadi John, and gone deep into Muslim communities in the west. She wants to know why young Muslim women and men rejecting their parents´ dreams of economic betterment and personal freedom in favour of radical rebellion in the Middle East.And why we should especially listen to her is because she is an independent, progressive Muslim woman who grew up in Germany. She can express of the sense of ´betweenness´ that she feels, between Islam and the West, Sunni and Shia, Morocco and Turkey, between objective reporting and fellow feeling.Born to immigrant parents - her father is Moroccan and her mother Turkish - who came to Germany in search of a better life, she has experienced the benefits of growing up in a democracy but also how it feels to be treated like an outsider in the land of her birth. She tells us that story.And along the way she guides Western readers through the complex world of global jihad, beginning with how the meaning of the word ´jihad´ has changed since her grandparents´ time. Jihad means ´struggle´ in Arabic, but it also connotes striving, as her parents and the parents of many others, did when they came to Europe in search of a better life. How has jihad´s progressive meaning been transformed into one that sanctions the often-senseless killing of unbelievers and Muslims alike?Part of the answer lies in the experience of Muslim immigrant children growing up in the progressive societies of Western Europe. She takes us into the restive immigrant enclaves of Germany, Britain, France, and elsewhere, and shows us what the transformation from docile striver to rebel looks like up close. And all of the book is rooted in her own life story.Her journey is both fascinating and distressing, both illuminating and perplexing. She asks the questions those of us who are not steeped in the traditions of Islam want to ask. Why? Why is this happening? And what can we do about it? And crucially, how do we - ordinary citizens of the world - reconfigure our sense of a world that resists obvious borders, that no longer promises safety, that sees people and ideas on the march. We need someone like Souah Mekhennet to help us make sense of it all. Taschenbuch.

354 Seiten, Sprache: Englisch Taschenbuch Gut I was told to come alone. I was not to carry any identification, and would have to leave my cell phone, audio recorder, watch, and purse at my hotel ...For her whole life, Souad Mekhennet, a reporter for the Washington Post who was born and educated in Germany, has had to balance the two sides of her upbringing - Muslim and Western. She has also sought to provide a mediating voice between these cultures, which too often misunderstand each other. In this compelling and evocative memoir, we accompany Mekhennet as she journeys behind the lines of jihad, starting in the German neighbourhoods where the 9/11 plotters were radicalised and the Iraqi neighbourhoods where Sunnis and Shia turned against one another, and culminating on the Turkish/Syrian border region where ISIS is a daily presence. In her travels across the Middle East and North Africa, she documents her chilling run-ins with various intelligence services and shows why the Arab Spring never lived up to its promise. She then returns to Europe, first in London, where she uncovers the identity of the notorious ISIS executioner 'Jihadi John', and then in France, Belgium and her native Germany, where terror has come to the heart of Western civilisation. Mekhennet's background has given her unique access to some of the world's most wanted men, who generally refuse to speak to Western journalists. She is not afraid to face personal danger to reach out to individuals in the inner circles of Al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS and their affiliates; when she is told to come alone to an interview, she never knows what awaits at her destination. Souad Mekhennet is an ideal guide to introduce us to the human beings behind the ominous headlines, as she shares her transformative journey with us. Hers is a story you will not soon forget.
