Surprise surprise Surprisingly, Muslims don't like this book..... Seriously, this is an excellent read. Some chapters are a bit hard going, but the conclusions they come to make it worth the slog. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a woman to be admired for her intellect and her courage. Muslims hate this book because they fear it. They fear it because it may cause them to question aspects of their religion, and their religion (which they must neither question nor leave, on pain of death) will only take a few holes poked in it before... more info
no stars awful read definately do not read comes across as authors personal grudge against islam, recommend the islamist by ed husain a more liberal and broad minded book on islam that challenges western distortions and misunderstandings of the religion in a highly commendable manner as well as the british born authors personal interior journey through islam by visiting different muslim countries suitable for muslims and non muslims alike very easy to read and understand
Excellent, simply and honeslty Forget the 1 star reviews, these are just the expected views of Muslims who like to keep their woman in an oppressive world, you should be ashamed! Islamophobia is a myth, get over it!
boring..... i found the book quite boring and just couldnt bear to finish it- i wouldnt recommend it 2 anyone- it seems more that she wants to criticise ppl rather thn tell us her story!
