As a woman, this infuriates me. I do wish something could be done about absorbing human right advances since the original book was written.

I'm surprised no one has dismissed this being in the Daily Mail and therefore invalid (even if true).

In any case it's nice to see Tarek Fatah mentioned - normally the papers only show the foaming at the mouth types and ignore the reformists and real moderates who don't want religion and state in the same bed together.

I'm still waiting for the mass protests by western feminists against this sort of thing...a bit like waiting for PETA members to attack motorcycle gangs for wearing leather - not likely as they fight back more than skinny models in fur :lol:

I agree...I even find truth in the Guardian occasionally as well. The Mail is a whinging sheet but it actually has it's finger on the pulse of the British masses, like it or not. Boobs, immigration...and boobs. That's our culture ;)

You're getting technical now...next you'll be mentioning the Carry On films and other deeper aspects of British culture.

Not sure...that's how I spell it though (BBC online also spell it that way). I can only spell "Nazi" and " immigration" correctly ;)

If Ms Ashraf Ali Thanvi wrote a similar book i wonder if the last page covers the writings of Mrs Bobbit ?
