Danny Burmawi

Danny Burmawi is an author, political commentator, and founder of the Ideological Defense Institute. Born in Jordan in 1988, he converted from Islam to Christianity as a young man-a decision that forced him to leave his homeland and shaped the course of his life's work. At nineteen, he moved to Lebanon, where he spent fourteen years immersed in the region's political and religious complexities. During that time, he founded and led multiple nonprofit organizations serving across the Middle East. Danny holds a Master's degree in Theological Studies, and Islam, Israel and the West is his third published book. He now resides in the United States with his wife and son, where he continues his mission of educating the Western public and policymakers about the threat of Islamism and other tyrannical ideologies.
