Clashing Religions
Posted by: Joe David ()

Author Joe David will be the luncheon speaker at the Women’s National Democratic Club (WNDC), November 11, 2014, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. where he will discuss the story behind his book, The Infidels, a fictionalization of a genocide his mother miraculously survived 100 years ago in Persia.

The Infidels is set in Northwestern Persia in 1914. It is the year when the Muslim Turks, with the blessings of the Germans, began savagely massacring millions of Christians during a jihad, declared to cleanse the Ottoman Empire of “infidels.” “The story I tell isn’t too much different from the story we hear coming from the Middle East today,” the author said. “In this case, it is the story my mother once lived as a young girl in Persia, and what many Christians and non-believers of Islam know today in the Middle East.”

“Clashing Religions: Reconstructing my mother’s World War I Genocide story” is a talk about the past and the author’s attempt to connect the broken pieces of his mother’s childhood and bring them to life for his readers to understand. “What had happened then between the two clashing religions,” David said, “isn’t too different to what is happening today in the Middle East.”

The Luncheon is open to non-members of the WNDC. Luncheon is $30 (non-members); $20 (members); and $10 for only the talk. Autographed copies of The Infidels will be available for purchase at $18.95 each.
