		<description>&quot;and re-discover it precisely to update Islam for the 21st century.”

Update Islam ?  Make it cater to the Grey&#039;s Anatomy era? 

Wow can anyone take her seriously?

YOU DON&#039;T UPDATE RELIGEON TO CATER TO YOU, YOU CATER TO IT OTHERWISE IT IS POINTLESS AND MEANINGLESS.

This is beyond absurd!</description>

case CLOSED.

To take a lesbian&#039;s rants about Islam seriously is absurd and LOL worthy.

She&#039;s obviously pissed off that her sexual orientation is forbidden in Islam and wants to change it so she can be guilt-free and not damned to hell.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s sad and ironic is that her book deepens the rift between Islam and the West by making it appear as if the practices/mentalities of Muslims today is flawed and that if a Muslim doubts their own religion then Islam is at fault.

Asthagfriullah.

She tries to make it seem like she&#039;s doing something for the greater good when in fact she&#039;s merely amplifying her doubts and lack of belief in Islam in hopes of finding solace with others of a similar mindset (and to probably get rich in the process).

One of the beauties of Islam is its unity ie its followers and practices whereas with other religions, you see large amounts of sects, differing opinions, etc.

For the commentators here who claim that Islam or religion teachers they&#039;ve had whom never encouraged questions to be asked, there is a very sound answer to this.

You do not have or did not have the mental aptitude to do so.  And as a result of asking questions while lacking the years of studying Islamic texts, the Holy Quran, the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (S) and the well sourced texts of the Sa7aba (PBUT), you would get an answer that would cause you to waver in faith.  

And let&#039;s face it, Muslims that want to ask heated questions about Islam have already taken a step backwards away from Islam and are not of the type you see in Mosques or reciting the Holy Quran during their free time but rather the type that listens to Maria Carey, read People magazine, &quot;Ugh I&#039;m starving, I&#039;ll fast tommoro instead&quot;, Blackberry, Porshe Cayenne, Goatee-trimming, dewaniya, marlboro, London/Paris/Lebanon every vacation crowd. 

This author suffers the symptoms of Muslims who live abroad in western nations, being their spiritual unravelling, expected of those who live in hedonistic, borderline atheist societies (ie the West).  And she never had a firm belief either, what with all her doubts and whatnot.

Every single practice, law, prohibition, etc. in Islam has ample and solid reasoning behind it, and it simply takes a learned believer to see the answers.  If someone cannot see this then they are wandering on a path of self-destruction.</description>

		<description>I read the book last year and I loved it. I agreed with A LOT of her points. Religion teachers should give their students the freedom to ask as much questions as they want. When I was a kid I always felt like I was sinning when I had a lot of questions (which I, of course, kept to myself) about Islam. To this day, I still don&#039;t have the answers to them! It would&#039;ve been great if I knew I could ask questions freely without being judged.</description>
