Price Of Honour: Muslim Women Lift the Veil of Silence

Price Of Honour: Muslim Women Lift the Veil of Silence

by JanGoodwin (Author)

Synopsis

Muslim women, symbols of honour for their men, speak out and take us into the volatile heartland of Islam, the world's fastest growing religion. Price of Honour recounts a wide range of telling, often horrific stories about the ways in which Muslim women are abused and oppressed by their menfolk, and shows how restrictions on women act as a barometer for measuring both the growth of fundamentalism and the Muslim regimes' willingness to appease extremists.
