Description of the content Husband of two, father of eight, and former Mujahadeen soldier Abu Ammar faces repeated setbacks as he struggles to reconcile his faith and the politicised reality of living in the Middle East. He is forced to collect cardboard for recycling plants from the streets of Zarqa, Jordan -an occupation that barely sustains his family. His situation deteriorates until he is forced to make a radical decision to save himself and his family from humiliation. His daily life is set against the story of the deceased Al Qaida leader Al Zarqawi.
