NONIE DARWISH is an Egyptian-American author, human rights activist, and public speaker, and the founder of Arabs for Israel and director of Former Muslims United. Her books include The Devil We Don't Know, Cruel and Usual Punishment and Now They Call Me Infidel.

Darwish holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology/anthropology from the American University in Cairo and previously worked as an editor and translator for the Middle East News Agency.
