Kadri, S: Heaven on Earth


en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 ian 2013
Offers a critique of extremism that is human rights-based and entertaining - combining the comparative approach of Karen Armstrong and the immediacy of Ed Husain ("The Islamist") with storytelling. This book goes beyond the explosive headline issues to reveal the stranger ones: genie exorcisms; and the legal consequences of premature ejaculation.
