Beskrivelse

Is Islam a religion of peace? In what is sure to be her most controversial book to date, Ayaan Hirsi Ali makes a powerful case that a religious Reformation is the only way to end the terrorism, sectarian warfare, and repression of women and minorities that each year claim thousands of lives throughout the Muslim world. Here, Ayaan Hirsi Ali aruges that it is foolish to insist, as our leaders habitually do, that the violent acts of Islamic extremists can be divorced from the religious doctrine that inspires them.

Menneskerettighedsforkæmperen Ayaan Hirsi Ali (f. 1969) opfordrer til en fredelig modernisering af islam, da det er den eneste måde at sætte en stopper for terrorens rædsler, hellige krige og den massive undertrykkelse af kvinder, mindretal og anderledes tænkende muslimer.
