      <![CDATA[Hey, there's so much interesting information in the book that I believe you'll be blown away...  I'm Jean Sasson and I worked with Najwa and Omar for 15 months so that this book would come to life.  I found Omar to be very quiet and sweet.  His life was sheer hell when he was a child, and he was basically helpless, like all children are.  He was a teenager when the family lived in Afghanistan, and the only child of his father brave enough to stand up to his father and declare his opinion that violence was not the answer.  Of course, his strong-willed father paid little attention to him. Later Omar left when he was old enough to do so, and since that time has been calling for peace.  While Omar loved his father, he didn't agree with him.  There are sites that claim Omar knew about the 1998 Embassy attacks and 9/11 before it happened.  That is not true.  Omar was never a member of al-Qaeda, and in fact, he heard about the Embassy bombings on the radio!  He was already away from his father and living in Saudi when 9/11 occurred.  As you might imagine, he was distraught.  I hope you all get to read the book -- it fills in so many gaps, so many questions we have all had since 9/11.  Jean Sasson
