| 13. One of our best writers, V.S. Naipaul, has alluded to this propensity for |
|
violence toward women, in general, and those who are helpless, in particular, in his classic work, Among the Believers--An Islamic Journey.He states that Islam is a misogynistic religion and what looks like cruel and barbaric treatment of women is treated as something necessary to establish the primacy of the males in those societies. He also correctly predicted, in 1981, any attempt to bring Western mores into these societies would result in violent acts against Westerners.
