A God Who Hates. Part 2
reached page 107 and still with the same insults without any logical proves. Even babies should be taught that you can not keep saying bad things about someone without a prove or the simple question "How do you know this ? Have you seen him/her do that? ".
The book is continuing with the ideas of the evil Muslims even in America. There, they are doing bad things in the supermarkets and wishing evil thoughts against America despite the fact that this country has helped them and gave them home. All the Muslims she met there were evil and all Americans were angels !!
I kept noticing through these pages that she was talking about things happened in her own country, things I know for a fact that we don't do here in Saudi Arabia and never did, so Is it simply a problems with the society not the religion that this society believes in ?. But on another hand, how come almost all Muslims societies are brand "hostile, evil and very backward", if it's not because the religion they believe in or .... ?
The support of terrorism, the censorship on books, idea and thoughts..etc. in that Syria was not because of religion but the ruling party of Syria which is still govern and kill its people not in the name of a religion at all!!
"one day I went to pick Farah up from school at the end of the day and found her in the schoolyard with her teacher sitting next to her, helping her tie her shoelaces. As i stood watching them from some distance away, the sight of the two of them together revived old memories, bitter once, still lodged deep in my mind. I remembered my head teacher when I was Farah's age. He came up to me at break time and asked me to leave school and deliver package of bread he had bought to his home for him. Fearful, I stammered out naively: "but we've got dictation now" I had barely finished the sentence before he slapped me in the face as hard as could. Remembering that sting of that cruel slap, i went to mrs. Anderson to thank her for her kindness and she said " I saw her running toward the gate with her shoelaces undone and i was afraid she'd trip over them". Mrs. Anderson hugged Farah and said, patting her on the shoulder," be a good girl, now. I'll see you tomorrow". I watched Farah's face in the rear view mirror as she sat in the back seat.Her eyes were darting glances all around her, and i thought to my self: how I envy you, little one. Why did fate not give me a teacher like Mrs. Anderson when i was a girl-not to tie my shoelaces, but to bandage my wounds? " P.100
I wounder what she thinks when reading about sexual relationship between teachers and their younger students-boys and girls-in the American society !! Oh, right. not all teachers are like those irresponsible ones !! then why the generalization about the whole Islamic community.
What about the Christians in the Muslims society who are as conservative, do they fall in the same category of evilness.
This book is not for the Muslims readers to enlighten them about their barbaric societies and religion, after all they don't deserve the rescue since they are all this evil.
And I am still reading...

I know it's painful to read such a book. But keep at it.
I remember when I was in elementary school and a teacher showed even more kindness when she noticed that I had missed the bus. She stayed with me and offered me a ride home.
I don't recall a teacher EVER asking any student for any personal service. Not once have a teacher asked us to do things or to deliver things and we were boys! This is just pure fiction from the author's -sick- mind
Your conclusion is right, this book is not for Muslims. It's angry and hateful. Great to fuel the hatred of the ignorant, intolerant, and racist bunch that see a threat in anything Islamic.
I think she's pretty disappointed that no one has called for her death yet. I hope no one ever does, or they would be doing her the service of a lifetime, propelling her to stardom of the likes of Ayan Hersy Ali with a lot less to say.
Funny thing, the Regime in Syria is mostly Anti-Islamic! Not sure how it's Islam's fault what the Baathist do to people!!!
Qwaider,
it's actually a really funny book with awful data and bad writing.
I am a teacher and we are obliged by rules to stay with kids if their family didn't arrive, so..
beside bad teachers and people happen to be everywhere.
she was calling for her death for sure and me too hope that this won't happen. Reading chapter eight is enough to know how much she looks for attention in the Islamic world, and that needs a post of its own.
felt the same about the regime in her country, and that point alone should prove that she was not going for the minds of reasonable people rather the hearts of hateful ones.
The weird thing, too, is that she is from the Alawaite community which is the sect of Bashar al-Assad and the ones fighting the uprising presently in Syria. And I have heard SOME of the teachers in Syria are mean so I'm not overly-surprised she was slapped. But a number of the teachers are Baathists so it's not really Islam's fault that they are cruel. She just seems to want to sell a book and knows Islam-bashing is the way to do it. :(
Susanne,
I never knew that she from the Alawaite minority until i search her when reading this books.
And yes teachers are mean here and there, everywhere. But there are great deal of them who are amazing, it's about children's rights not being a teacher who rule over a child, when law rules then we will all be happy. Islam teaches you-and I am not defending it- how to teach kids in an amazing way, yes some ways are not with today's world but things are changing..
you sum it right, it's all about selling book, I bought one but it taught me great deal honestly.
Wow, as said already, clearly she's just trying to sell a book. Maybe I should write a book about how I almost married a Pakistani guy who turned out to be lying and cheating, and how therefore all Pakistani guys are like him...
*sigh* it just angers me so much, when people can't see that you can't define a whole people, or a whole religion, upon the actions of the few.
And yes, sometimes books can be so bad, and sad, that you just have to laugh.
Becky,
Generalization is a grave and should be a crime.
it's the worst thing to do to ourselves first and then to humanity..we can never be happy generalizing bad ideas about people and religions or anything at all.
And sad books teach us to appreciate the good ones :)
Yes, definitely!
Becky,
