re: #365 CuriousLurker

What does she say about it and what do you know about it? Precisely which part(s) about what she says regarding those things do you suppose people object to? Do you think anyone in their right mind is in favor of those things?

I’ve heard about her books for a long time. Looking on amazon.com, I see a book named “Infidel”, another named “Nomad: From Islam to America: A Personal Journey Through the Clash of Civilizations”, another named “The Caged Virgin: An Emancipation Proclamation for Women and Islam”, etc. I’ve always been curious to read more about her.

I’ve read about her, on and off, for years, and she always struck me as very interesting and reasonable.

When you ask “Precisely which part(s) about what she says regarding those things do you suppose people object to?”, well, I have exactly the same question. I was surprised yesterday to read about her and Brandeis.

It seems to me that she has a valuable perspective on Islam, especially in regard to feminism, and my question is: what about her is so bad that Brandeis would cancel her speech?
