Islam, Liberalism and Human Rights

Summary: Cogent, lucid and enlightening
Review: I have read most of the literature available in English on this topic.The Delacouras offer up a fresh and insightful approach not found in other studies. Islamic apologists are desperately fighting for acceptance and intellectual respectability in the West. In order for these apologists to succeed they must conceal a "sacred" literature that embraces, endorses and advances slavery and the oppression of women as second class citizens.
The Hadith, collection of sacred literature, makes clear that Mohammed considered women "deficient in intellect." See Volume 3 Bukhari Hadith. This concepts is embedded in the very foundation of Muslim thought and world view. No small challenge to modernity.

Summary: Immense Perplexity and Bafflement.
Review: The initial 30 pages (I refused to read further), were unbearably and nauseatingly chaotic and disorganized. Despite implicit benevolent intentions, the author propounded a few ideas and argumnents that should have utilized, at maximum, ten pages. Ideas and assertions could have been stated much more orderly and clearly. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
