[quote=Anonymous]I'm not the PP that OP is addressing, but I too own Dr. Ahmed's book, thanks to reading about it here a few weeks ago. It's not available as an ebook, but the paperback arrived within 2-3 days.

OP, I disagree with your characterization of this book. Dr. Ahmad's story is indeed nuanced: the point is, pre-Islamic Arabia is a patchwork, contrary to the earlier assertions from you and Muslima that Islam made things better for women in Arabia. I don't see why you quoted from Dr. Ahmed about the Abbassids, when we've focussed on the Quran (and not even Hadith) here.

I find objectionable your murky suggestions of evolution in Dr. Ahmed's conclusions, and your murky insinuation that Dr. Ahmed moved off the unflattering statements at the front of the book. She didn't. As an aside, I'm a researcher myself, and I agree with PP that authors' opinions don't "evolve" as they write. Please. An author who did that, who wrote a book that was internally inconsistent, would never get published. [/quote]
