Judges Comments on 'The Passionate Jihadist'

There are a lot of really engrossing, full details that drive the story along. The opening vignette about Yushua and the rooster is indicative of this, and the way that bird imagery is interwoven throughout the narrative makes for a great unifying technique. Even metaphorical language is utilized effectively and visually: "The shame settled on him and lingered like mulberry stains on his fingertips" (6).
