Product Description
Synopsis
'Cruel and Usual' is a wake up call to the Western world. Nonie Darwish presents an insider's look at Sharia and examines how radical Muslim laws are destroying the Western world from within. Living under Sharia law for the first thirty years of her life,a virtual slave to Islamic law, Darwish never questioned or challenged her rights - she didn't dare to even think about the validity of Sharia laws. She didn't try to examine what Sharia was, how it came about or why she followed it. 'This is Allah's law,' she was told, and she knew what awaited those who questioned Allah's law. But she doesn't believe the lies anymore, and now she wants to share her experiences with the Western world. "Cruel and Usual Punishment" is an insider's look at how Muslims sacrifice their basic human rights to obey the archaic and brutal laws handed down to them by their prophet centuries ago and how Sharia Law seeks to destroy democracy by infiltrating Western culture from within.

Format:Paperback
this book, along with those of Wafa Sultan, gets at the psychological roots of the problematic aspects of islam, better than the male authors i've read, such as robert spencer, ibn warraq, and anwar shaikh.
it shows very clearly how the application of sharia law has a detrimental impact on islamic culture.
it makes clear how not just women but muslim men art hurt by the implementation of sharia.
it shows the corrosive consequences to trust of polygamy. explains the mafia-like prohibition on leaving the faith. the supremacist mindset in islam and disrespect for all other faiths than islam.
the US versus THEM......UMMAH versus KAFFIR attitude engendered by the quran/sharia.
the fact that the prophet's sexual history vis-a-vis Aisha disqualify him as an example to be followed, and how certain kinds of child molestation are permissible if the quran is follwed literally.
also explained is how the very laws of islam permit and sanction vigilante mob justice towards muslims who step out of line, and towards non-muslims who have the temerity to criticise islam mohammed or the quran.
fascinating is her explanation of how the desert raiding culture lead to the creation of the concept of territorial jihad, and how this was incorporated into the religion [with its enticement of sexual rewards in the afterlife] to perpetually expand the faith.
custody and divorce laws are explored, honour and how it opresses women, and turns men into tyrants. the place of blame and denial in islamic culture. how the bogeyman word islamophobia is used by muslims to shut down debate, and how calls for blasphemy laws are designed to make islam legally imune from critisism, and kill free speech.
all in all, this book a real eye-opener, a devatating critique of sharia, and a good first stepping stone to more serious study of the main vector of violence in islam, and why sharia is utterly incompatible with western culture.

I think this is an excellent book which gives an honest look at Sharia Law. I didn't know anything about Sharia law until I read this book. At least now I know a little about it and hope and prey that it does not get a foothold in the UK.

This book is a must read for anyone who wonders what Sharia Law is really about. Her perspective regarding global jihad, radical Islam and Sharia Law needs to be taken extremely seriously by all who read this book. Coming from Egyptian background and being raised as a Muslim, Nonie know what she is talking about. Sharia Law has and is enslaving millions of people, while creating an environment that fosters extreme hatred towards non-Muslims. Nonie covers just about any topic you've ever wondered about, from honor killings, the beating of wives, brainwashing of children, Islamic victimization and much much more. She takes you on a journey that reveals the history of Islam and the Bedouin culture that gave birth to this religion. Once you open this book, you will be hard pressed to put it down.
As someone who was in a relationship with a muslim man I now understand how he thinks. Frightening.
There are other excellent reviews of this book on www.amazon.com.

Silly stereotypes and sweeping generalisations.
This text tells you nothing about what Islamic law really is. It touches on a few incidents here and there (usually of extremists that represent less than 1% of the Muslim... Read more

Ignore this warning at our peril
This book is a frightening account of what the future probably holds

Scary but not entirely convincing
Nonie Darwish is an Egyptian woman now living in America and in this book she seeks to explain the reality of Sharia law, particularly with regard to the position of women. Read more
