The author of Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here, Karima Bennoune writes about Mahfoud Bennoune, her father, who was an outspoken professor at the University of Algiers. He faced death threats during the 1990s but continued speaking out against fundamentalism and terrorism. Karima set out to meet people who are today doing what her father did, to try to garner for them greater international support than Algerian democrats received during the 1990s. Karima Bennoune is a professor of international law at the University of California-Davis School of Law.
