Lenka S. reviewed Wanted Women: Faith, Lies, and the War on Terror: The Lives of Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Aafia Siddiqui on + 822 more book reviews
This book is an example of the moral relativism that blinds many in the West to the tragedy and horror that is fundamentalist Islam.
To equate Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a woman who is a campaigner for human rights with Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani islamist, a woman who is a convicted terrorist murderess (she helped mastermind 9/11) is mind boggling. A specially since said campaigner for human rights is found lacking and the crown of self-righteousness and cultural/religious 'purity' is bestowed on the convicted murderess.
There are references to the whore and the virgin, the bikini and the burka, the evil and the good... But we do not need much analyzing to figure out that Aafia is the good virgin in a burka, and Ali is the bad whore in a bikini... Shame on you Deborah Scroggins!
