Muslim Barbie??

I'm not going to go into detail here, but one of my pledge sisters was executed by her Muslim husband for disobedience, and since they were living in a Muslim country, he was not prosecuted. In fact, he is considered a good family man. One of the ways I could come to grips with this tragedy is by reading several books on Islam, both scholarly & anecdotal.

I highly recommend the books Princess and Princess Sultana's Daughters to those who want even a small look at Muslim life for women in Saudi Arabia. Muslim girls are much more aware of the meaning of the veil at a very early age. I recommend these particular books because they are an easy read, not anti-Islam, and autobiographical.
