It doesen't matter how the "majority" feels if the "minority" holds wielding power OVER the "minority."
It is also always VERY important to understand WHO THE AUTHORS OF THIS BOOK ARE RATHER THAN WHO THEY PROPORT TO BE!
John Esposito has been riding the coat-tails of other's for 30years now. After Edward Said's book "Orientalism" spurned uproar, Esposito made a name for himself by basically disagreeing with Said.
Esposto then became a foreign-affairs analyst for the Near East and South Asia branch of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research at the state department under Bill Clinton's administration. Esposito's bad advice may have had a great deal to do with the state department's refusal even to look at critical intelligence on Osama bin Laden's activities.
That's right. The same man who is now telling you that Islam poses no threat to you, is the same man who said Islam posed no threat DIRECTLY BEFORE 9-11!
As we All unfortunately now know, he was mistaken then. He is mistaken now as well.
Esposito explains is belief in his previous works that the political program of Islamic fundamentalism is in fact democratic, and that it is only our narrow Western definition of democracy that refuses to see this.
Neatorama readers and posters; do you believe sexually-perverted, oppressive and murderous laws towards women is DEMOCRATIC?!?
Apparently Mr. Esposito does.
ANY WOMAN READING THIS SHOULD REALIZE THAT IN MANY ISLAMIC COUNTRIES YOU WOULD BE CIRCUSIZED AT AGE 13 AND NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE, EDUCATE YOURSELF, OR SHOW YOURSELF IN PUBLIC WITHOUT AN ACCEPTED "HIJAB."
John Esposito, the author of this book believes these are acceptable, democratically plausible laws.
I will go into less detail on Miss Mogahed, as she is more difficult to dispute due to her few and varied public appearances; upon all of which she hides behind the rhetoric of "Islamic Scholars." (Mahmoud Ahmadinijad happens to be one of those)
Whenever Mogahed does appear in public, she wears a Hijab which covers her whole body, excluding her face. Though this is of course her choice, it also proves her willingness to be subject to a deeply disturbing form of abuse.
Will any woman disagree with me that a Hijab is a form of abuse?
It doesen't matter if she acquiesces to the Hijab, just as if a 16year old agrees to have sex with a 40year old. It is still rape.
Finally, let me emphasize that I have absolutely NO problem with Moslems. None whatsoever.
What I have a problem with, is a man posturing behind fabricated crudentials, and a woman hiding behind her Hijab, telling YOU THE PUBLIC, that there is no threat from Islam throughout the world.
Sure people have invoked 9-11 to prove my point before me. But I have already done that once in this post. I will then rather point to a statisitic that goes far too unoticed:
Since 9-11, there have been 11,693 terror attacks carried out in the name of Radical Islam.
ELEVEN-THOUSAND, SIX-HUNDRED-NINETY-THREE!!!
No threat?
Why don't you ask school-children in Sderot Israel about the threat of rockets falling on their school?
Why don't you ask the average Iraqi or Afghani man about the threat of a suicide-bomber blowing himself up in front of his house?
Why don't you ask the Brit, the Frenchman, the Spaniard, the Dutchman, the Algerian, the Turk, the Indian, the Pakitani, the Bosnian, and countless others about the threat of Radical Islam in their states?
And while your at it, ask the soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan about the risk.
And why not ask the family member of a 9-11 victim about the threat?
No threat?
I'd have to dissagree.
