The Development of Nazy Cunningham
The Prophet Mohammad took four girls as concubines. He took a nine-year old as a bride. Radical Islamist groups destroy towns and villages in order to capture women and sell them or make them sex slaves. It begs the question, does Islam have a problem with women? To a great degree, yes; in almost every Muslim country in the Middle east women have little to no power and the vast majority have lost their freedom. One could argue Muslim women once had amazing freedom; they attended the best universities in Cairo, Tehran, Damascus, and Islamabad and received degrees in engineering and medicine. When they graduated college in the 40s, 50s, 60, and even the 70s, school graduation photographs clearly show the men wore business suits and women wore dresses and heels in the Western style. Today, the Islamic world has been de-Westernized. Today, under threat of pain or death, women are forced to hide their hair, their arms and legs.
Some are unable to drive cars. They are subject to arranged marriages. They have very few rights, if any. This is the essence of terrorism--which is defined as violence or intimidation to achieve a political goal. Muslim women must submit or pay the price. They would fight back if they could. Who could possibly support fanatical Muslims inflamed for sharia, car bombs, and female genital mutilation?
When you are engaged in the business of counterterrorism, your direct goal is to destroy radical Islamists and by extension, you are indirectly fighting for the freedoms Muslim women have lost or never had. The Nazy Cunningham character represents what happens when a Muslim woman is faced with the dilemma, either continue to submit and live a life under actual or the threat of violence or intimidation--by those fanatical Muslims hot for sharia and female genital mutilation--or run away or escape from the religion that facilitates such conditions to exist and its influences, and embrace freedom. In Special Access, after Nazy (as Marwa) is beaten by her husband she makes the decision to escape from her life. Before she races to the airport, she begins fighting back in one final act of defiance.
In the Duncan Hunter books, the amazing Nazy Cunningham continues to explore freedom and the potential of a full life. As a CIA analyst, she is fully committed to fight the fanatical Muslims, the very group that seeks to subjugate, punish and destroy her as well as the country that has allowed her the freedom to blossom as a free woman. She is in the fight to demolish the evil that resides in the radical strain of Islam.
Maverick out!
