Asra Nomani, a Wall Street Journal correspondent, was investigating the ideology behind the 9/11 attacks in Pakistan when her colleague, Daniel Pearl, was kidnapped and murdered by ISIS terrorists. Nomani believes that identity is used as a weapon in extremist ideologies, which promote sectarianism and illiberal ideas. She has since become an advocate for Muslim reform and parental rights. Nomani’s book, “Woke Army: The Red-Green Alliance That Is Destroying America’s Freedom,” discusses the dangers of soft power and the line between free speech and character assassination. Nomani warns that the United States is being eroded by those who seek to dumb it down.
