“I thank ALLAH for PROTECTING ME FROM WHAT I THOUGHT I WANTED and BLESSING ME WITH WHAT I DIDN’T KNOW!” (Muslim Prayer)
“(I take the above PRAYER; to mean PROTECTING ME FROM WHAT I THOUGHT I WANTED as meaning my IRANIAN HUSBAND. This part of the prayer means all that I learned about Muslims. BLESSING ME WITH WHAT I DIDN’T KNOW includes the lovely people I met there. Additionally, it refers to finding my new husband-JOHN.
This book is not about hatred of the Middle East or Muslims. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Devout Muslims helped me escape. I was able to get away from my terror in a POW camp in Iran. There are so many Iranians in Iran and in the USA that I hold the utmost respect and love for.
My name is Lori Foroozandeh. My life started with physical abuse at 6 months old. It was severe enough for me to be taken away from my parents. When my adoptive family took me, they told me I had cigarette burns all over my body. I also had sores on my butt from never getting my diaper changed. Wait it gets better from here:
- At 11 I was molested by my adoptive brother.
- At 18 I had my first child, enlisted in the army and married my recruiter.
- Went AWOL from the army due to my husband ran off with another woman and took my son.
- Soon after this I became a truck driver to stay mobile so the MP’s wouldn’t catch me for being AWOL.
- At 27, I met a Middle Eastern man and eventually married him. He turned out to be a terrorist. He took me to Iran and wouldn’t let me return to the USA.
- The day after 911 I was put into a POW(Prisoner of WAR); type camp in the middle of nowhere, Iran. I was tortured, beaten and raped for six weeks. Eventually escaped and got back to the USA.
My life has been eventful. You can read about all my ordeals in my award-winning book, “Lori’s Song.” Available on Amazon and through my website.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let
you know. The design and style look great though!
Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Kudos
