My Jihad

By Aukai Collins

Born in Hawaii, he led a hard life there and in California. In prison he converted to Islam, and then eventually went off to Jihad, fighting Russians in Chechnya. It's easy to read, and a fascinating look into what goes on in the mind of someone who goes off to fight for their religion.

I highly recommend it.

What were his impressions of fighting for his religion after his Jihad?

Well he fought for a while, but he became disillusioned with the people he was fighting with; some did it for money, some for power, and others were terrorists. After he fought in Chechnya for a while, he went to work for the FBI and CIA. Then he got sick of them and went to fight again. Then finally he settled down.
