She didn't know he was a terrorist. What she knew was that in 1996, in a restaurant in Morocco, the country she went to hoping to be in a film, he was "Satan come to life." (Page 157) She'd seen children in Tel Aviv, Cairo, and Kenya used as sex slaves and soldiers raping women in Sudan.
Kola had given up on Hollywood and what she called "the American Nigger media," and in Tel Aviv, Israel, she had played a topless oversexed dancing girl in low budget film. She'd done a commercial playing a "buffoon." And she had tried to commit suicide.
She was on a date in that restaurant but Osama Bin Laden had his men tell her date to split. She felt commanded.
"I was seen as a temptress and an infidel. I was a woman who dared to travel in their society alone, dressed in sensuous American clothes with my head uncovered and flaunting my Black American womanness, which they both despise and lust after..." (Pag 157).
She had no money, no resources, no man of power to speak for her.
Her fear of Obama was such that she almost cried and peed herself because she knew that men could be merciless when woman have no power. (Pg 158)
She cried, begging him not to hurt her physically, perhaps knowing he would. He said he would not but then slapped her, hating her sobs.

But finally she felt to escape death she'd have to seduce him. The men were sent out of the room. She decided to cook food for him first. He smoked marijuana. He talked about his major crush on - Whitney Houston.
"I will be financing you life from now on, Naima. Simply tell Master what you need." Osama said this to Naima. At the time he had at least 25 children and several wives. But because of Naima's Blackness she could not be considered a wife candidate. He was Arab Mafia, she thought. He thought she was a top paid prostitute. She protested but he said ALL African women are prostitutes.
Sex with him was rough. He bit her mouth. A real bite - not playful. he put a velvet sack over her head. He overpowered her and asked her to scream. He liked to use his penis to hurt women and because her vagina was infibulated, he stabbed her with it. He urinated in her mouth. His men were out in the hall laughing. (Pg 164)
Episodes like these would result in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - horrible nightmares for years.
But after this first encounter with Osama doing whatever he wanted to her, she heard orders that she was to be moved to a better location. She was moved 100 miles away to a luxury suite and given money for new clothes. Kola says that tracking devices were put into the fillings of her teeth.
She resigned herself to it.
"He installed me in one of the most beautiful and prestigious get-aways in all of North Africa - the famed La Maison Arabe of Medina." It was a walled city - a Moorish estate and bed and breakfast. Celebrities such as Princess Diana and Mick Jagger had stayed there. At the time it was being renovated by an Italian Prince who would later - and this is important - tell the United States government that she had been an unwilling Mistress. The place was lavish. .... to be continued.
