Guarding the Secrets: Palestinian Terrorism and a Father's
Murder of His Too-American Daughter (Hardcover)
by Ellen Harris (Author)
From Publishers Weekly
This true-crime study spotlights the clashing of cultures. TV
reporter Harris (Dying to Get Married) relates the tragic story
of 16-year-old Tina Isa, murdered in Missouri in 1989 by her
father, Zein al-Abdeen Hassan Isa, with her mother's help. The
father, from a backwater Palestinian town on the West Bank, was a
suspected member of the terrorist Abu Nidal organization, and his
home in St. Louis had been bugged by federal agents. Thus the
murder was taped, and the parents received death sentences. The
proximate cause of the slaying was Tina's attempted assimilation
into American culture?her wanting to become independent, to get a
job, to date an African American teenager?but the root causes,
according to the author, lay in the misogyny of Islam and in the
clannish nature of rural Palestinian society, where the "honor"
of the family is more important than life itself. Photos not
