Negative Positive
Title: This is such a farce!!!
Review: I am a Muslim women - a convert, from Catholicism, converted right after Sept. 11th,2001 so for about 3 years - and I have been on 'both sides of the fence' (being a Muslim woman, and being a non-Muslim woman), and this book is - like another reviewer mentioned "touches the surface". Brooks does not even go into the REST of Islam, she doesn't provide the hadiths (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS), who in Islam is our up-most example of the perfect Muslim), or the ENTIRE CONTEXT of the Qur'anic verses; she simply quotes [out of context] the parts that help her cause (bashing Islam and the way women are treated). If you want a real book that explains how women are treated in Islam pick up a translation of the Noble Qur'an, or The Complete Idiot's Guide to Islam (no, I'm not joking, it's a real book). This is absolute crap and she should be ashamed of herself for writing something so prejudice, baseless, and imcomplete!
Is the review positive or negative?
