It was really important to me to see the book from the Muslim point of view, and the discussion with my colleague was really important for this review. Obviously, this book would be offending to most Muslims; but while the radical fundamentalists resort to threats of violence, most Muslims would simply not read the book and be done with it.Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-82960046400880597752013-05-30T12:13:41.285-07:002013-05-30T12:13:41.285-07:00If nothing else, I just learned more about Islam i...If nothing else, I just learned more about Islam in the minutes I've spent here than I ever knew before. I like to think that true lovers of books respect the effort by the author, regardless of religious affiliation, but I'm coming to realize that those opinions sway every single decision of every single day. I know, I'm a little slow. :)Melissa@Home on Derangedhttp://homeonderanged.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-5764355670596076112013-05-29T14:41:30.715-07:002013-05-29T14:41:30.715-07:00Thanks, Jen!
