Your comment was intended to go with The Imam's Daughter, which is the next post. I have wanted to read Hirisi Ali's book too but haven't. I imagine it to be more political than Hannah's book. Thank you for your thoughts. It is definitely a captivating story.

Just as it said on the covers- terrifying! Terrifying beyond my comprehension! But in the same time full of hope after you manage to get about half way through the book.<br />What l liked about Hannan, in comparison to Ayaan Hirsi Ali ( whose book l didn't give a really good review) is that she made clear that it wasn't a book about Islam or against lslam, and that not all muslim families live like that. Yes, it should be obvious, but people might get the wrong picture after reading a book like that so l believe it was important to stress it once again.<br />She managed to have a happy life after everything that happened to her and l strongly admire her for it.<br />I cannot say it's a great work of literature, but then again, that's not the purpose of her book. It's supposed to show us that there are things we have to fight against, because the second we become indifferent is the second we will have lost our humanity...Rosary Beadshttps://royale-rosary.myshopify.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-80454335041096353412017-05-23T10:30:38.492-04:002017-05-23T10:30:38.492-04:00I completely agree!

So I usually read and paraphrase for him, or he listens to homilies or watches EWTN. :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-72549490357015641102017-05-20T12:20:58.806-04:002017-05-20T12:20:58.806-04:00Thanx for the link, Manny.
