Prisoner of Zion

The narrative explores the aftermath of 9/11 and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan through the eyes of Scott Carrier, a writer and radio producer. Driven by curiosity about the Taliban and fundamentalist beliefs, he embarks on a journey to understand their motivations. Carrier reflects on his upbringing among Mormons in Salt Lake City, suggesting that confronting true believers with aggression is futile, as they thrive on persecution. He advocates for a deeper, introspective approach to overcoming fear and anger in the face of conflict.
