Recenzje

"The author offers a refreshing perspective to his readers to understand that Muslim scholars do not always have a monolithic opinion on subjects even as sensitive as this. The book also affirms that critical thinking is not alien to Islamic scholarship. If there is one valuable book in the English Language on the subject, this is it." Jabal M. Buaben, University Of Birmingham
