I rate this book 5/5. It gives a different perspective on how some Muslims see America. Most of the time, we are given the impression that all Muslims hate America. Ali gives us a different story.

For me it was very interesting getting an immigrant's point of view on the events, especially when Ali was from such a different culture. His culture is close to mine and I remembered my dream of going to the US. It was valuable story for me.

I share the author's opinion that all Muslims do not hate US. This book will serve as an inspiration to understand that America is not about ethnicity, religion or color of your skin but it's a state of mind. This book will serve as a motivation to new immigrant's to change and express their perspective
