I am a counterterrorism professional living in Washington, DC who focuses primarily on the Sunni extremist threat
in the Arabian Peninsula. I have a minor in Islam and both a bachelors and masters degree involving International Security.
For those who care about such things, I do consider myself a Republican; however, most of my opinions on Islam and the War on
Terrorism are separate from that political leaning; if anything, I am to the left of a significant majority of the conservative blogosphere.
I Recommend:
1. Militant Islam in Southeast Asia Zachary Abuza
2. The Al-Qaida Threat Ben Vezke and Aimee Ibrahim
3. The Age of Sacred Terror Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon
4. Islam Fazlur Rahman
5. Terror in the Mind of God Mark Jurgensmeyer
6. From Beirut to Jerusalem Thomas Friedman
7. Islam: Continuity and ChangeJohn Voll
