A fictionalized account of a suicide attack on a bus in which a young man detonates a bomb on a crowded bus headed to the city center, killing himself and twenty other passengers. Many have objected to the fictionalized version of the story as unrealistic and unrealistic. But the details I describe in the book are factual. And I believe that every detail of it is, except for the penultimate gesture of smiling at the end, is evidence of something we can all learn from: the fact that a Muslim suicide bomber can do exactly the same thing in real life, and that it is so easy to do so. And yet, many still object to the idea that there is something unrealistic about this kind of thing happening in our world, because it has been happening for decades. Well, well, for one thing, this is a prototypical case. This is a case in which, apart from being fictionalized, the details are well attested to. And while there are others who have committed suicide attacks, there are also, in my opinion, quite prolific attacks by Muslim suicide bombers in Sri Lankan history. And while others have also been quite prolific, it is not hard to find examples of people who have done the same. This is the sort of thing that I believe happened to me, and I believe it happened to many others, as well. If you like what I'm doing, please consider becoming a supporter of what we're doing here.
