Well, Misszaky, I think no one should be able to judge anyone because we all have our own flaws
I guess in the end God will be the one who'll judge us. But I agree w/ u tho, I know a few people who say one thing but does the other things--hypocrites...it's a lil frustrating sometimes when someone makes u do something but they themselves do not do. But u should be proud of urself for caring enough to want to strengthen ur faith & be a better muslim
I have Muslims friends who don't really "cover up" and friends who are very religious (I'm in between
...and I get along w/ them just fine...
To Amira: here is the summary from the back of the book, PRINCESS:
"Because she is a woman, she is considered worthless--a slave to the whims of her male masters. She has watched sisters, cousins and friends sold into marriage as young girls to men five times their age, and brutally murdered for the slightest transgression,
in accordance with cruel and ancient religious law. Now bestselling author Jean P. Sasson offers a shocking glimpse into a world of opulent splendor and horrific oppression--and presents the real-life story of a courageous modern Saudi princess...who has risked her very life so that the truth may finally be told."
That is word for word from back of the book. When I read it, I was a lil shocked to see that the author was saying that the cruelty was due to the religion. When people think about Islam, they think about oppression & inhumane treatment (mostly from stories from the Middle East)...but that's just the culture--the people who did it, not the religion...the religion does not tell them to do all that nor does it promotes those kind of treatments. Well, the author did say that the story was from the princess's, but it's his(her?) words. I can't say much about this book yet tho, I'd have to read it first..
