Karima Bennoune (Get this book) A human rights lawyer scours the global hotspots for stories of Muslim push back to fundamentalism. Fired with a sense of outrage, Bennoune applies the lessons she learned from her professor and activist father, Mahfoud Bennoune--put on the "kill list" by fundamentalist extremists in Algeria in the early 1990s--in meeting the challenge of today's fundamentalists. The author's account brings to light the courageous few who do stand up at the peril of losing their lives--e.g., many women who have had enlightened fathers who supported their education, like the author. Bennoune, and those she profiles, bravely meets the tide of extremism with a sense of shared community and nonviolent purpose--Kirkus
