(Muslim death threat). These are stories which make your hair stand on end - and feel so utterly disgusted how they are being treated in parts of the Middle East !!! Actually I am not sure I want to read anymore cause it makes me quite miserable too.
I want to read Sharon Osborne's book too - sounds interesting and she has certainly had a colourful life so far.
yes they do make your hair stand on end, as i got several books regarding also living under the taliban...makes us eternally grateful for living in the kind of society we have today, not wondering if our feet are sticking out, or any part of our body for fear of getting whipped, not lekker... ad:
i seem to go thru phases of reading of different cultures, i have now read of middle eastern culture and their lives, have now read several books on the Geisha culture in Japan, now just the movie to see then i guess i will be moving onto another country... :p
