Książkę przeczytałem i wydaje mi się, że jest lekko przeszacowana. „Heretyczka” nazywana jest krzykiem o reformację w islamie. Można powiedzieć, każda religia, rozpatrywana poprzez pojedyncze przykłady, jawi się, jako nieprzystająca do współczesnych czasów. Przede wszystkim trzeba uwzględnić, że isl...

Her courage alone in her journey from Somalia to the west would demand a 5 Star rating. This book is just great reading and important to understanding the clash of Islam and the west.
