Dave Bailey worked for many years at IBM, leaving in 1992 to start a non-profit called Education Transfer that organized events for schools similar to those he had arranged as a volunteer. By 2001 he was serving several schools on Long Island - schools with families that were devastated by the 9/11 attack. Bailey felt a compelling need to understand the ideology behind the attack and, after retiring in 2010, he devotes his time to helping others comprehend the forces within Islam that threaten the West.
