Infos

Celebrated human rights activist Nonie Darwish draws on her upbringing as an Egyptian Muslim, her struggle to escape Islamic law, and her lifetime of experience educating Westerners about Islam to argue that basic tenets of Islam are fundamentally different than the other Abrahamic religions and are incompatible with a free society.

Western countries are ignorant of true Islamic values, says Nonie Darwish. Darwish is an Egyptian-American, former-Muslim human rights activist who is frustrated with mainstream America's talk of tolerance and assimilation. In Wholly Different, Darwish sets non-Muslims straight about tenets of Islam that are incompatible with free society.For the first time, Darwish tells the whole story of her personal break with Islam, starting with the brutal physical violence and rigid class system she witnessed and culminating with the spine-tingling visit she received from President Nasser after her father, fedayeen commander Mustafa Hayez, was assassinated by Israeli Defense Forces. She lays out the "e;seventh-century values"e; of Islam that religious extremists are so intent on protecting through global warfarevalues that set Islam apart from the other Abrahamic religions.
