Muslim marriage disappointing generalities,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Married to Muhammad (Paperback)
This American female author married a Muslim divorcee (who as an immigrant worked in Georgia/Florida) after dating him for a year. This second marriage of hers to a Mussleman lasted for about a decade. As her chain-store-working husband became more involved with his business, he devoted less time with her. For a couple of years she lived in Egypt or Lebanon, before returning with her children to Florida. Her Muslim mother-in-law moved in with them, and the marriage began falling apart -- as the Muslim mother-son team seemed to bond together more so than the husband and this author. The author suggested that her marriage fell apart because her newly acquired Muslim faith did not help to sustain her marriage; she returned to her Christian faith to find love through Jesus. Although she lived the Muslim life for several years, sadly, the author does not recount any `troubling' experiences while living in the chador-clothed Muslim world - a reader does not get any `idea' as to how Muslim families live. The author does not relate any experiences whereby her Muslim husband said that she had to act in a certain way to comply with some Mohammad sexist-command or hadith `regulation'. After using a few pages in which she described her failing marriage, and her return to Christianity for solace, the author uses about 50 pages for reprinting Islamic hadith regarding female-subservience in the fields of: pleasing the husband, sex, husband's right to beat his wife, polygamy, children, divorce, etc. -- but not relating any of it to her Islamic marriage. The book purports to be a warning to Christian women about the difficulties that they may encounter when married to a Mohammedian, but it falls far short of doing so.

Has Some Good Points Whilst Too Generalistic,
By Saphire (L.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Married to Muhammad (Paperback)
While Cati makes some good points about being careful whom you marry,her generalisations I find a bit subjective.She blankets
most or all Muslim men as controlling,abusive and prone to affairs whilst you are expected to stay at home locked into a docile wife.Any religion when taken into fundamentalist realms can be of danger to women,this includes Christianity.I have witnessed horribly abusive situations in Christian marriages. In short,it is her subjective experience and does not in any way represent the entire male population.The strong Christian bias against Islam is noticable.
