It is refreshing to read about Islam from a woman who is truly interested in being a spiritual moral person. Although she is very religious, she approaches her beliefs from a very spiritual as opposed to fundamentalist side. Having said that, I found it could drag with her constantly readjusting how to approach finding a mate. As much as I appreciated her struggle to reconcile the worlds she inhabits, she had a vast tendency to whitewash much of Islam especially as it pertains to women. She spent a lot of space talking about Khadijah and no space at all relating to the other wives. She makes a point to explain that Islam is very respectful to women but does so by avoiding anything that contradicts that notion (or at least partially explains how the religion has evolved to be, on the whole, repressive for women). الكتاب ده ليه معزة عندي لأسبابخاصة وللأجواء الجميلة اللي اشتريته فيها من المعرض حسيته وانا بقرأه إنه شبه فكرة عايزة اتجوز جو تاني خالص سافرت مع الكتابوبيفكرني بشويبس أنانس كنت بشربها وان بقرئه حبيت اوي فكرة الروحانية اللي اكتشفتها الكاتبة اثناء بحثها عن شريك حياتها بعد لما كانت بتبحث عن الشكل في المرحلة الاولى بس انا كان نفسي ما تعملش مواصفات كامل الاوصاف زي ما حصل في تمثيلية عايزة اتجوز كده اتمنيت تكون النهاية مختلفة عن كده بس تجربة حلوة برضه او بمعنى اصح رحلـــــــــــــة
What do You think about Love In A Headscarf (2009)?
I enjoyed it.I think its for non muslims, it makes them see Islam for what it really is.
