Book Reviews of Voices Behind the Veil: The World of Islam Through the Eyes of Women
Book Review: not un-biased; not subtle.
Summary: 1 Stars
I am so sorry that this book had to end up presenting Christianity as the answer. Its biased content in opposition of Islam is blatant, and I am afraid that the few people who read it without reading or studying anything else end up writing reviews (such as those here that are quite embarrassing in their snobby, ignorant hatred) or just spouting their opinions wherever they happen to converse with another. It's negative talk like this, which is false on more counts than not, that will pull us all apart.
Islam does not promote the mysogeny many of you reviewers you describe. Poor interpretation of it does (unfortunately the same poor interpretation happens in many Christian churches and organizations, also). Original Islam has been noted throughout history as supportive of female progress through education and equal treatment. You can find many books and articles on this right here on Amazon.com. There are many muslim countries in which women do not have to wear a veil, and there are many muslim men who wouldn't think of having more than one wife, let alone more than one girlfriend (my loving and devoted boyfriend -- and husband -- being one of them).
Before you believe that you have a good knowledge of the experience of the Muslim woman after reading just this book, please, please read more. Just look at the many titles here on this site. Read from various orientations-- left and right wing, religious, etc.. Then you can form an educated opinion. Don't just parrot the one thing that you've read, please! It promotes prejudice and even hatred.
