"In Invisible Martyrs: Inside the Secret World of Female Islamic Radicals, Qazi not only considers the conventional driving factors towards terrorism, but also looks at the personal reasons why women choose this path. Understanding what motivates individuals to commit acts of terror is, in of itself, a difficult topic for people to comprehend. Women, often viewed in more traditional roles, as nurturers, caregivers, and the less aggressive sex, provide an even greater enigma, when they commit acts of violence."
