Wafa Sultan's ' A God Who Hates'
If you want an insight into the mind of many Muslim men and why they treat women the way they do, this is a must. Her life as a girl growing into a woman in Syria under the strict religious and cultural rules of Sharia, witnessing the atrocious treatment of women at the hands of men. The fact that she came to notoriety because, when in a televised discussion in 2006 on Al Jazeera, where she was being shouted down by a cleric, when it was her 2 minutes to rebut his points, she had the temerity to say " Be quiet, it is my turn to talk!." 
The Muslim world was shocked. Just the act of talking across a man was enough for her to receive hate mail and subsequent death threats.
Where are all the feminist voices about this?
I, like many westerners, didn't realise just how restrictive women's existence can be in Islam.
For having the courage to write this book, and stand up for women all over the world, in the face of Islamic death threats that she receives daily, she deserves to be read as widely as possible.
Highly recommended.
