After growing up in Saudi Arabia he left home and spent a few years
traveling the world gliding in and out of colleges,
odd jobs, and love affairs. His diaries are filled
with hookups and romances as he tries to reconcile
his sexual desires with the dictates of Islam. From Bangkok to Manila to St. Louis,
he was a rootless wanderer whose life soundtrack
was the music of Chris de Burgh. Sailor, can you hear me? Sailor, hear my call In 1991, he found himself in India,
harboring a growing anger over Israel's treatment
of his fellow Palestinians. That sense of injustice led him like so many Muslim men,
to the land of jihad. "To hell with Chris De Burgh"
