ADNAN I was talking about scholarly books written by the respected scholars in the field and not stories of personal experience. Don't you realize that there are thousands of men in the U.S who beat and abuse their wives? How about if someone picks up a book written by an abused wife -- and there are many -- and generalize all the men in the U.S? There are thousands of women who are living happily after they married a Muslim man. You can not generalize people by such stories. Now, you have read "Not without my daughter", but I wounder if you read the book: Daughters of Another Path: Experiences of American Women Choosing Islam by Carol Anway review at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ats-query/2092-7382937-019455 It has 53 stories of women -- including the author's daughter -- who married a Muslim man or converted to Islam and are living happily. Personal experience of these women as the personal experience of "Not without my daughter" does not prove anything.
