^^ sweety you didnt think it was gross?
Like forget the fact that we are muslim – but some scenes were just not acceptable for any culture.

Ex. teh scene where the mother catches the boy jerking off and when confronted the boy masturbates on his mother. Is that normal anywhere?

Or a son referring to his mother as a “cunt” on national newspaper.

The whole book is based on an a married woman living with her boyfriend and being murdered for it. The whole problem was that she couldnt marry her BF because her husband was MIA and there was no way divorce him. But in Islam if you husband is not around for X number of years then you are free of the marriage. There were many many small mistakes in his interpretation of Islam and hindusim for that matter. I knwo for a fact that a devote Hindu would not burn himself the way Shamas’s father did.

The book was the author’s way of getting back at his family. He’s a sicko and freak!

Have you read any of his interviews? He’s manic-depressive(sp).
I wanted to burn the book after I was done!

Yes those parts were definately Gross, i havent read any of the interviews or anything to do with the book, i found it Fascinating prob cos of the fact that its the first ever book i read from an asian Writer.

However i did find the plot of the book really weird but at the time that i read it i was lets say ignorant of most things in islam and didnt bother looking up the info until later on. but i thought being a non fiction book it wouldnt have been true any way:konfused:
