Why do all of you say such negative thing about the book and things like "It's written this way to make readers sympathize Betty"? Why is it so ubelievable for you that it really is a real story. Everybody knows that women in Islamic world is treated way differently than other religions.

This is how Islamophobic propaganda made you think about it and it has nothing to do with reality. Books and films like this one served a nasty purpose to build misunderstanding, mistrust and animosity among cultures. As long as people are deprived of solid education and fed with propaganda, they will remain uninformed and hateful. Lack of insignt equals fear of unknown equals hatred. (less)
