I love reading books that "teach" me something...that make me analyse. "Infidel" did just that. The biggest myth dispelled for me was the belief that Islam = Peace. Ayaan reveals that the teachings of the Quran can imprison and even cripple its believers. She highlights the necessity of choice and that "to believe" should be enlightening, not repressive. read review
