Islamophobia has gone too far. This is a real account of the Kuwaiti people, kind, trustworthy and respectful - with whom I spent 6 years

Taranaki

The world has gone crazy with Islamophobia. It has become so ridiculous that people are being refused their basic human rights because they look "Arabic". I want the world to read about the true nature of Arabs, at home and within their comfort zones - peace loving individuals who would give you the shirt off their back - people you really could trust to always do the right thing. The world needs a a non-fiction account of who Arabs really are and their true place in the world.

Alison Adams-Smith's involvement (page creator)

I am writing a book which harks back to a happier time - my 6 years in Kuwait between 1976 and 1982 - before the Gulf War and long before 9/11. I write about the Arabs I knew in Kuwait - generous, humble, compassionate and hospitable, and my experiences as a teenager in Kuwait. Many of them are hilarious.

I am requesting donations, no matter how small, to help support my son and me until the book is finished.
