This is a fantastic book. The author is not afraid to take on all the important issues the Islamic world is facing - a) being an individual and thinking for yourself, while also being part of a group b) why you should love books and pursue knowledge from around the world, not just the Islamic word c) the necessity for female equality d) the love/hate relationship with the west e) why freedom (including free speech) is necessary and how to control your choices when given freedom f) how the Prophet Muhamad (PBUH) would make decisions re good/bad if he were living today The list goes on and on. The authors tone is warm and respectful. He is half Arab and half Russian, and is the UAE ambassador to Russia. He also involved in promoting the writing of Arab literature and the arts.
