Summary: SHE IS NOT ANONYMOUS
Review: The author of this book is NOT anonymous any longer. The groups she mentions in the book have filed a lawsuit aginst her and she has appeared on national TV news. I may be the lone sane person in Seattle because I believe this book is true. After all, the U.S. Government RAIDED the places she mentioned in her book and found evidence of money laundering and funding of Al Qaeda, and treasonous speaches in Mosques. America needs to wake up!

Summary: Every free world advocate needs to read this.
Review: Rita Katz has put her life on the line as an undercover, first-hand researcher and now as a writer exposing this challenge to our civilization. I have had third-hand information like this for a number of years but getting it from this intelligent, courageous, first-hand source gives me an absolute confidence in my conclusion that we need to end the regimes that support this "holy war". You can't defeat an enemy you don't understand. Our enemy is not the tactic of terrorism. It's the ideas of mysticism, a hatred for success on earth, and a belief that you have the right to kill anyone who disagrees with you.

Summary: Required reading
Review: First, Anonymous is hardly anonymous. The author is Rita Katz and she leads the SITE Institute (Search for International Terrorists). The ruse of 'anonymous' was put to rest by a lawsuit filed against Ms. Katz and CBS by two of the organizations she writes about, the Heritage Educational Trust and Safa Trust. On the Safa Trust, the Washington Post wrote on 10/7/02:
"The SAAR network consists of more than 100 Muslim think tanks, charities and companies, many of which are linked by overlapping boards of directors, shared offices and the circular movement of money, according to tax forms and federal investigators. .. The SAAR Foundation officially dissolved in December 2000, and many of its functions were taken over by another group, Safa Trust, run by many of the same people. ...U.S. and European investigators say they have uncovered information in the Bahamas and Europe that in recent years some SAAR entities' funds have moved to two men, Youssef Nada and Ahmed Idris Nasreddin, designated by the United States as terrorist financiers." Meanwhile, families of World Trade Center victims have sued SAAR, Safa Trust, Heritage Education Trust and a host of Saudis. The Feb 21,2003 issue of the New York Times reported that one of the chief targets of Ms. Katz investigation, Sami Al-Arian was charged by Federal prosecutors with racketeering charges as part of a efforts to finance and support suicide bombings in Israel. In short, Anonymous is hardly anonymous and the stories she tells are easily corroborated by doing a little searching on the net. The Terrorist Hunter parallels Steven Emerson's 'American Jihad'. It seems Ms. Katz worked for Emerson until 2002 when she left and started her own organization, so the links are more than coincidence. Personally, I found 'Terrorist Hunter' far more effective than 'American Jihad'. Rather than be bogged down in intellectual debates, Katz grounds her story with the murder of her father and grandmother. She then details a childhood that yuppie parents will immediately recognize as hyper-activity and attention deficit, a personality type perfectly suited for the I-Spy mentality of her book. Finally, she makes no effort to hide her passions, tears and personal demons. Every personal crisis gets built up into a matter of earth shattering importance and makes the narrative seem like so much bluster. On the other hand, I had to ask myself with what motivation would I require to tell a similar story. Engaging in this dialog, trying to understand how I would feel if trapped in the same circumstances, is probably what I found best about 'Terrorist Hunter.' I asked myself how I would feel if my father had been killed at a Sabbath supper by a stranger wrapped in shrapnel laced dynamite, singing praises to his God? I don't think this question far fetched in our increasingly small world. The book is a starting point, something to motivate more reading, more thinking, maybe even more passion.

Summary: by Anonymous
Review: If your intellect is in the range to accept a "non-fiction" work by Anonymous they you probably read anti-evolutions stuff from "doctors" with degrees from a bible college.
"Anonymose" is fine for fiction, think Henery Miller, or someone else who has a legitamate reason. It is not acceptable for a "factual" writer who wants to be taken seriously. While an "anynymouse" sorce is useless if a reader wishes to determine their objectivity, it is also usless to the author in concealing their identity unless the don't want to be paid. Calling themselves Anonymose is a marketing gimmick made so they can mainupate your tiny little minds.
Enjoy

Summary: A purpose-driven life
Review: Anonymous describes how terrorists have used the freedoms of America to set up a billion dollar money-laundering ring under the guise of islamic charitable organizations. She traces over 100 organizations back to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization so extreme in its views that it is even banned in some muslim countries. The government of Saudi Arabia, as a financier of the Muslim World League, is also implicated in funding worldwide jihad. The author tells how she went undercover as a muslim woman to spy on terrorists based in the U.S. She also gives some very harsh criticisms of the malfunctioning FBI. This book is not just about the terrorists among us, it is also the story of Anonymous' tumultuous life, starting out in Iraq, pausing for a while in Israel and finally coming to the U.S. It seems she was meant to come here and use her language & research skills to help fight the war on terror. I think this story would make an exciting spy movie.

Summary: Go to SITE her research companys inernet site
Review: Go to her reasearch companys site,
and maybe even put it on as your home page.
It is www.siteinstitute.org
The "site" is incredable, just like the book,
but it has the latest breaking news.

Summary: Decent Reading if you like James Bond
Review: This is fantasy, not reality. 1) The author (whose name is now known, and who has shown up on Fox News with a predilection for not being able to keep her story straight) only speaks Iraqi Arabic. She does NOT know the colloquial speech of her suppossed subjects of interest, primarily from Saudi Arabia. It's like saying that you undertand English and showing up on a street in Liberia expecting to understand every word (listen to them on the radio, and hear how much of their English you understand). She's likely to make bad mistakes based on that alone. 2) She shows up at the mosque NOT KNOWING HOW TO PRAY. All it takes is a quick internet search, and I guarantee you can come up with several sites that will cover the basics of how to pray as a Muslim, many of which include the words transliterated into our alphabet for easy memorization, and how many times you need to bow and kneel. Any "spy" worth her salt who plans on infiltrating a mosque and pretending to be a Muslim could at least do this much. 3) She claims to have attended lots of meetings between men who sympathized with OBL while hiding under her burqa. I don't even know where to start with this one... you really can tell who is under a burqa (or abaya) if you know her well (the way a person moves is a dead give-away as to identity). If she wasn't known to the men, she wouldn't have been allowed in. The few women who even MIGHT have been allowed into a meeting by such extremists are the wives and daughters who are expected to serve the tea. I know whereof I speak - my husband is Palestinian, and I speak Arabic (not quite fluently yet, I'm working on it). His family are refugees living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and I've wandered in and out of quite a few Saudi homes... the women's quarters. Women do not enter the men's quarters (and thus get the opportunity to listen in on conversations) without EXPRESS PERMISSION from the husbands or fathers, especially when ANY male from outside the family is present if the household is religious in the Wahhabi, extremist sense. Nonrelative women cannot enter the men's quarters for any reason UNLESS THEY HAVE A MALE GUARDIAN PRESENT. Another thing - if it's a Saudi group, the women would NOT be wearing burqas, they'd be wearing Abayas. Burqa - usually blue cloak sewn to a round hat worn in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, with a sort of lacy patch over the eyes so you can sort of see out. Abaya - (usually black) over-robe like an outsized house-coat worn in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and some other areas of the gulf, with a separate headscarf (known as a hijab or khimar) and (in REALLY religious households) the niqab, basically a handkerchief on strings that you tie over your nose, so that only your eyes are showing. "Anonymous" is discussing fanatics, yet she claims to have been to enter in on the discussions of males almost freely, without any question as to who she was and why she was speaking such a strange version of Arabic (and honestly, men ARE able to tell the voices of their female relatives from those of strangers). Even serving tea, there are polite niceties a woman is expected to say. Uh uh. Not believable.

Summary: Interersting, Intellectual, Intense
Review: I think that "fate" would be one word that could accurately sum up this author, and her life. There is no argument in saying that the annonymous author of this text truly found her life's calling and followed! This profession runs in her blood (was her father truly an Israeli spy??!!) This text is truly informative, and really makes you second guess the people around you and take a closer look at your surroundings. The thought of terrorist cells in the United States is certainly imagineable post 9/11, but still I think that we find ourselves saying, "Florida, California, New York...not my city!" However, when reading this text I was amazed to discover the sheer number of hate rallies that have been attended by heads of terrorist organizations and have/are taken/taking place in my own backyard, so to say. This book was also amazing in that it serves to give red flags and warning signs to the average citizen whom these cells operate around. Upon reading this text, eyes begin to see, and ears begin to hear. This book rips us out of our ignorant state in which there is no excuse and will only serve to be out individual and social demise. This text is a must read written by an annonymous author who is incredibly intelligent, well-educated and detail oriented. The only sincere travesty of the text is that it was composed in annonymity, making it hard to beckon the author to write more, or know if in fact she does.

Summary: Mind boggling
Review: This book is an eye opener for anyone who still believes that all is quiet on the Western front. It is a courageous, heart breaking account of an immigrant woman who puts herself and her family on the line to expose powerful, well funded, well connected terrorist networks. But where are the reviews of this book? Why is nobody promoting this so vital book? This book belongs on every bestseller list! It is a must read especially for those serving in the Senate, the House, FBI, CIA and INS.

Summary: Government foul ups continue
Review: Anonymous has written a truthful account of how radical Islam works. Since 9/11 we have seen numerous books and articles of how world wide terror works. The writer shows us how deceitful terrorists are; they continue in their march to make the world Islam.
Another excellent book that, sadly, recounts the FBI's failure to pay attention and the supervisors criminal failure to listen to their own agents is, Peter Lance's "1000 Years For Revenge". Americans can only be blind if they want to be in this day, books like "Terrorist Hunter", and others are telling us what to look for, and to be ready. Read this book!
