Born a Muslim, a new book by Izek Aliev, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Covering two story arcs, Born a Muslim is a compelling, insightful tale that tracks the radicalization of a young man brought to the US from Syria when he was only five years old. He becomes involved with the jihadist movement and the reader sees how he is groomed to carry out a terrorist attack. Secondly, it is an examination of our society's division between liberals and conservatives, revealed in the form of lectures to twelfth-grade students given by their history teacher, an immigrant from Azerbaijan.
