Ayaan Hirsi Ali argues that ordinary Muslims throughout the world want change. Courageously challenging the fundamentalists, she identifies 5 key amendments to Islamic doctrine that must be made in order to set Muslims free from their 7th-century chains. Interweaving her own experiences, historical analogies, and powerful examples from contemporary Islamic societies and cultures, this is not a call to arms, but a passionate plea for peaceful change and a new era of toleration." --From publisher ER -
