Negative Positive
Title: Too Much Negativity
Review: As a Muslim woman convert myself, I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of this book was. I found an alarming number of stories about violence in the relationships of these women. Yes, many of the stories were positive but they were overshadowed by the sensationalism of the abusive relationships some of these women had to deal with. I also didn't appreciate the fact that one story was about a "used-to-be-christian, then became Muslim, and now-am-Christian again and need to help abused Muslim women" woman. If the book was about Muslim women, she should have been excluded because she blamed her abusive relationship on Islam and any Muslim who practices the religion correctly knows that it is in no way condoned by the faith. Some of this book just reinforces negative stereotypes that the American public already has about Islam. With so many negztive things about the religion in the news, I would have liked for this book to be solely positive.
Is the review positive or negative?
