The almost compelling story of a journalist falling in love with a failed terrorist. Seriously, this jerkwad tried and failed to spin a story of some naive loser into a 21st century Che Guevara. Fuck the both of them.

Omar's dad is a terrorist also. He helped instilled terrorists ideals by even trying to convert his daughter into Islam, suggesting that's the only way Omar and her will see each other again ...
