#180 - Dr Yvonne Ridley: Who Are The Taliban And How Did They Conquer Afghanistan So Quickly

Yvonne Ridley is a British journalist who was captured by the Taliban in 2001. She later converted to Islam. She is a vocal supporter of Palestine and an avid critic of Zionism and of Western media portrayals and foreign policy in the War on Terror and has undertaken speaking tours throughout the Muslim world as well as America, Europe and Australia. She has been called "something close to a celebrity in the Islamic world" by the journalist Rachel Cooke, and in 2008 was voted the "most recognisable woman in the Islamic world" by Islam Online. She is also the author of the books In the Hands of the Taliban, Ticket to Paradise, Torture - Does it Work, The Rise of the Prophet Muhammad: Don't Shoot the Messenger. http://yvonneridley.org https://twitter.com/yvonneridley http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northeast/series4/yvonne_ridley_iraq.shtml https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/6-author/yvonne-ridley/ In the Hands of the Taliban - https://amzn.to/3z5vU3w Ticket to Paradise - https://amzn.to/3y42pxJ Torture - Does it Work? - https://amzn.to/3D6iDu0 The Rise of the Prophet Muhammad: Don't Shoot the Messenger - https://amzn.to/2UCdRmA HELP ME CROWDFUND MY GAMESTOP BOOK.
