Nonie Darwish (Arabic: ???? ??????; born Nahid Darwish, 1949) is an American human rights activist and critic of Islam, and founder of Arabs for Israel, and is Director of Former Muslims United.
She is the author of four books: Now They Call Me Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel, and the War on Terror, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law, The Devil We Don't Know: The Dark Side of Revolutions in the Middle East, and Wholly Different: Why I Chose Biblical Values Over Islamic Values.
Darwish's speech topics cover human rights, with emphasis on women's rights and minority rights in the Middle East. Born in Egypt, Darwish is the daughter of an Egyptian Army lieutenant general, who was called a "shahid" by the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, after being killed in a targeted killing by the Israel Defense Forces in 1956.
Darwish blames "the Middle Eastern Islamic culture and the propaganda of hatred taught to children from birth" for his death.
In 1978, she moved with her husband to the United States, and converted to Christianity there.
In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, she has written on Islam-related topics.
