Hear author Mohammed Hafez, Tammy Faye Messner, and TV critic David Bianculli, on this edition of Fresh Air.
Mohammed Hafez is the author of the book Suicide Bombers in Iraq: The Strategy and Ideology of Martyrdom. Hafez finds that the over-whelming majority of suicide bombers in Iraq are non-Iraqi volunteers, and he says the war has unleashed a new generation of Muslim militants who care little about national boundaries and are driven by the ideal of defending Muslims whoever and wherever they are. Hafez is a visiting professor of political science at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. He is also the author of Manufacturing Human Bombs: The Making of Palestinian Suicide Bombers.
Then, we remember Tammy Faye Messner (previously Bakker). She died Friday at the age of 65 from cancer. (Original Airdate: 1/15/2004)
Finally, David Bianculli reviews two new cable shows featuring strong female leads: Saving Grace starring Holly Hunter as a troubled detective (on TNT), and Damages, starring Glenn Close as a powerful and ruthless attorney (on FX). [Broadcast Date: July 23, 2007
