A God Who Hates- Part 3

If this book keeps teaching me anything at all, it is that "no matter what i will read in the future about any race, religion or ethnicity i should not take it for granted and look for other sources about the same topic" . Seriously, I don't blame anyone who would read this book about Islam and -mostly- Muslims and believe the worst about them.

Back to my thoughts about this book. First of all, I honestly respect a book that respects me and my intelligence even if it's 100% against what I believe, cuz I want to learn, I want to know other perspectives to any idea, and this book fails to do so.Some might say "it's because it's against your religion", but if you know me well, you would know that I have no problem with ideas against me, my country, my religion or any and everything I believe. But you need to be smart, honest and treat me with respect to at least gain my respect and admiration for your efforts !!!

Now to the thoughts:- 

1-Chapter 8 of the book is the comic of the book, I couldn't stop smiling and my eyes goes O-O all the time

This chapter is about her appearances on Aljazeera TV and why did they invite her, but the idea she keeps pointing out with different phrases is " Never in Islam has a woman vied with a man's ability to raid and shout, Never in Islam has a woman silenced a man's clamor with her calmness or overcome his shouts by her ability to talk and convince" P112.

"time seemed too short and too precious for me to waste even a second of it, and I shouted at him" be quiet ! it's my turn!". I uttered this sentence without realizing that it would open a new chapter in Arab and Muslim history. Never in the history of Islam has a woman clearly and forcefully asked a Muslims man to be quiet because it was her turn to speak". P.113

Is she serious ? . Sometimes they say that one word can make you lose it all and this whole chapter made her lose it all in my eyes, but still I will keep reading it to the end.

2-In the same chapter she talked about " Many children who have lost their mothers or fathers in these societies end up as victims for whom no just solution can be found. The father's new wife in these societies neither regards nor treats her husband's children from another wife as if they were her own. Her belief in her faith, which bans adoption, prevents her, both consciously and unconsciously, from treating them warmly; new husbands behave similarly towards the children of their wife's first marriage".

Again,Is she serious? what is this?  a scary fairy tale? which planet was she living in before going to American to fight Muslims? .Yes adoption is not allowed in Islam but where does it say that you can not treat your step-children any less than yours because it's your duty? 

I honestly know now why she keeps insisting that Muslims won't like her book, Cuz it's the worst scary fairy tale, full of  I-don't-know-where-she-got-these-stories-from stuff.

3-what's with these experiments she keeps saying happened, where are the sources? the names of the people who conduct them ? . 

And she wants Dr. Phil McGraw to work on ways of ridding us of our ogres!! seriously!!

4-All the ideas of rulers and how people must obey them have been in huge debates since the beginning of Islam and everyone knows how leaders use and twist words of holy books to gain more powers, it happen in all religions.

5-Defending Saddam over and over and trying to make him looks like the victim of his Muslim society when everyone knows how did Saddam rule and that his Baath party is not even remotely an Islamic political party. She kept saying that she doesn't know anything about politics, then she should of have stick to that and shut up, cuz the videos I saw of her encouraging the west to treat the Muslim world the same way they dealt with Japan is pretty cruel even for a woman who hates Islam and Muslims and yet define her self as a Muslim because she can not leave it for one vague reason or another when it's very clear that the moment she leave Islam, she won't even be regarded an expert in the field of attacking Muslims and encouraging their killing by nuke them and making her rich.

How is she even better than those monsters she keeps talking about in the book when the solution is "atom bomb", no wonder that Saddam is a victim of his Muslim society in her eyes.

5-" they only criticizing me because they are jealous" !!. Are we kids. Is that how a woman who keeps pretending to change "history" think !!

6-how would she know what people think, she keeps saying that people thought, aren't thought supposed to be secret , did they share their thoughts with her, she even knows the thoughts of someone who lived centuries ago...I need facts not thoughts !!

I know for a fact that the way women and children are treated in the Muslim world is way beyond bad and let me just state that in my country -Saudi Arabia -they are trying to justify this by saying it's the way a woman or a child should be treated in Islam but knowing more about the religion and the cultures and traditions you would notice-if you are fair- a big difference between the two. 

I am not defending anyone or any religion. I only state things I see and live, and I have criticise the way women and children treatment in my country before, but to go against the people of any religion or country is not going to make them change in a second or year or a century, it's only going to bring more hostility to you and more attachment to the way of their living. 

You can not change someone's life by ridiculing them and calling them barbaric and that "it's my way or the highway" . 

I don't know if there will be a part four of my thoughts on this book, will see if any new thing rises up in the coming chapter.. I guess a Jodi Picoult's novel should be next "sigh"
