Ayaan Hirsi Ali argues that Islam needs a reformation like the one Christianity went through, and identifies five areas for change: the status of Muhammad as infallible, the focus on the afterlife, the role of sharia law, the right to enforce morality, and the call to jihad. She distinguishes between Medina Muslims, who are hardline, Mecca Muslims, who are pious, and reformers.
It is for readers who want to engage with a contentious argument about religion and politics. The book gives a clear case, and it invites readers to weigh it against other views.
Outward-looking; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Evidence Seeker. Which reader are you?
