About Shaykha Halimah bint david MacQuarrie After a decade of spousal abuse & being tortured by DAESH in Thailand. I am challenging the status quo & terrorist's— I wrote several poetic cookbooks freeing Muslims of radical ideologies with sweet and savory foodie recipes and poetry according to Ahlu Sunnah Wal Juma'ah (Salafee or Salafi) methodology. Absolute showstopper, poetry is not dead. It was confirmed I had a brain tumor in 2015 at an emergency eye examination after I had sustained blunt force trauma to my eye by my abusive husband. Shortly thereafter, I got a traumatic brain injury while studying BJJ. Alhamdulillah in all affairs. My abusive ex-husband fled the state of Florida with my five children and a woman married to someone else and her two kids; after paying bribe money to my aunt to lie in my restraining order and divorce hearings. I have not hugged her children in seven years, and I miss them very much and these books are indeed meant for them.
