So much respect for Ayaan. I just finished Unveiled by Yasmine Mohammed. That was good, too. And of course, Son of Hamas. I gave that one to my son. One of the best books I've read in a long time.

Yes great book. In there she explains, among many other things, the difference between the тАЬMedinaтАЭMuslims who take the тАЬsmite them at their necksтАЭ as their calling, versus the тАЬMeccaтАЭ Muslims that take тАЬthere shall be no compulsion in religionтАЭ to mean more peaceful coexistence. At least that is what I recall having read the book about 10 years ago.

I like how she explains life growing up in that world, she really brings it alive. She's a wonderful writer. A horrible world to grow up in as a girl. She came on Substack recently so I read her work regularly. She's a Christian now so her perspective has changed somewhat.
