This book goes behind the scenes into the lives of Muslim women and reveals a secret world that is unknown to outsiders. It shows how their lives are very different from those of Western women and reveals the tensions and stresses that Muslim women often face within their families and societies. The author describes how the little understood concepts of honour and shame can oppress and endanger women, and how arranged and forced marriages can be life-threatening situations.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Mint. First Edition. SECRETS BEHIND THE BURQA Rosemary Sookhdeo. Isaac Publishing, McLean, Virginia. 2008 First edition ISBN 9780978714147 146pp Trade Paperback. This copy is in mint unread condition bound in illustrated card covers as issued. Secrets Behind the Burqa reveals what really happens in the daily lives of millions of Muslim women and girls. Going behind the scenes it shows the male Muslim perception of women and details the rules and regulations which control Muslim women's behaviour. Rosemary Sookhdeo describes how the Islamic ideas of honour and shame can oppress and endanger women, and how arranged and forced marriages can turn into life-threatening situations. With Islam a growing religion in the west, Secrets Behind the Burqa analyzes whether Muslim women will be able to embrace western values and thinking or will be trapped inside their own cultural and religious systems.
