The Making of an American Jihadist

Walk in the shoes of an American born in Palestine. Join him in his struggle to live a life of divided loyalties. Experience Adam’s (aka, Ahmed) agonies as he tries to do the right thing, but his country marks him as a terrorist. Come to know what it is like to have Homeland Security persecuting you for some crime you might commit. Accompany him in his flight to the Middle East, as he tries to compensate for the injustices that the West has brought to the Arab world. Share Ahmed’s disillusionment as he learns that people all over the world have feet of clay. With enemy agents trying to assassinate him, life is seldom dull. Meet the nurse he hooks up with on his overseas flight. He believes it was his destiny to join the Islamic State freedom-fighters, but was it? Learn about the mixed feelings Ahmed has, as he survives over there, fighting to bring glory to the Islamic State. Learn how he concludes his jihad with an unexpected end. This is a cautionary tale-- it has relevancy for you.

The author is Professor Emeritus in the Florida University System-- a Clinical Psychologist by training and a Cultural Anthropologist by interest. Before coming to Florida, he worked as a GS-12-grade profiler for a government agency for seven years. He lived in Baghdad and in Cairo and made more than 70 trips to Latin America and 15 to Turkey. He is married to a wife from Baghdad, and he made the pilgrimage to Mecca. He uses his experiences as background for his novels. He writes under a facetious pseudonym because he wants to keep his personal life separate from his professional one. His four wonderful children still hang out near the nest and encourage him. Thirteen titles by Jonathan P. Slow are available from Kindle, Amazon Books, Barnes and Noble, and booksellers around the world.
