Standing Alone, by Asra Nomani, is about reforming Islam, and fortunately, despite the title, Ms. Nomani does not stand alone. Many other Muslims stand beside her. And non-Muslims, such as I, who wish to see a reformed (restored) Islam, stand with her also. Why should I care? Because I lived in Saudi Arabia for several years, and wrote a book, Fool's Paradise (travels in Arabia). In that book I note that Islam today has as little to do with its prophet, Mohammed, as Christianity has to do with Jesus. Neither man would recognize the religions which are practiced in their names. And in that book I identify modern Islam's major flaw: its fear of women's sexuality. Why does a Saudi woman, e.g., have to be accompanied by a male relative everywhere she goes? Why is she not allowed to drive a car? It's because she might drive that car to a sexual tryst. Fear of not being able to control women is at the heart of the Islam practiced in Arabia today. Such fear, by the way, does not speak well for the masculinity of the males guarding their females. If a man can't trust his wife as soon as his back is turned, what kind of man is he? This kind of Islam puts a kind of social chastity belt on its women. They are so tabooed and bugabooed that when you visit a man in Saudi Arabia, you will never see the womenfolk in his household. If they do speak, it will be from behind a curtain. There are religious police in the market (souk) to make sure women are veiled, and if too much of her leg is showing, he will swipe it with a black mark. To a Westerner, all this seems like lunacy. So it would have for the first Muslims, also. The reformation of the Islam that has been hijacked by a fearful patriarchy will most likely come from Muslims such as Nomani, raised in liberal, Jeffersonian America. Throughout her book, Nomani stresses that the early Muslims and their Prophet did not treat women as second-class citizens. Women preached in mosques. They were valued, not feared. Ms. Nomani goes to Mecca on the Haj (pilgrimage) where every Muslim should go if financially and physically able. Ironically, in Mecca during the Haj, men and women mixed freely, unsegregated. Elated by this discovery, which hearkened back to original Islam, she hoped to reform the local mosque in West Virginia, where she grew up and still lives. That local mosque had a separate entrance for females, and once inside, the women had to sit in a squalid area behind a screen. Why? Because a Muslim male should not see a female, lest he be distracted and tempted by her. Asra Nomani is determined to be allowed to go into the mosque through the same door as the men, and determined to pray in the same room as the men, albeit a little behind them in token of modesty. The book is well-written, informative, never boring, and should be read by every American who has been led by enemies of Islam in MSM to fear and distrust it. Islam does need reform (restoration). Asra Nomani shows the way.
This book contains a very complete description of the haji (pilgrimage) plus lots of andedotal stories of modern day Muslim life in America. The author can be perceived as quite liberal for her faith, but she has a clear way of explaining much of what is hidden of the Muslim faith by the fanatics and the superficial news broadcasts seen in the US.It does seem that she is hung up on the fact that she had her child out of wedlock and how some would want to punish that as a moral sin. Apparently it's quite an emotional issue as it is REPEATEDLY mentioned - a tad overkill for me. But overall it was an excellent book and easy read.
Do not be misled by the title of Standing Alone in Mecca . . . because it speaks not about Islam or even religion but for the eternal human search for liberty, fairness and justice. Her expose of Islam is the expose of abuse that every religion has gone through at the hands of dogmatic zealots. It is the story of human propensity to leverage any and all means of power--religion, politics, money--to control others. The author's journey to Mecca is a fascinating account of the pilgrim that only Muslims are allowed to go to. Other religions have been guilty of this exclusion as well, to be fair. While feeling guilty of bringing a child to the world out of wedlock, Asara ends up in Mecca to seek redemption, and finds a surprise."After undergoing the most sacred of experiences as a Muslim woman in one of the most repressive regimes in the world, I received a shocking wakeup call when I tried to bring lessons from the pilgrimage home to my own community in America--one of the most democratic societies in the world."She found that "In my mosque, what was alarming was not that this man, living with two Saudi wives in Morgantown,spewed this hate-filled rhetoric just blocks from the campus of West Virginia university, but that none of the 150 WVU doctors, professionals, PhD students, and undergraduate students in the congregation uttered a protest. From the trenches in small-town Americana, I was observing something disturbing. Even at a time when the government of Saudi Arabia was taking a moderate position--at least publicly--tolerant and inclusive Islam was losing in places like Morgantown as zealots filled a vacuum created by an ambivalent moderate majority and a passive, even sympathetic, leadership."Let me repeat for clarity that the men who schemed in the name or religion to ostracize Asra from the mosque that her father had founded are not the exclusive domain of Islam. Such bigotry runs across all cultures and religions. This book is a bold attack on such behavior and not on a religion. Asra chose to face these and other discriminations as a thinking, courageous speaker of truth, supported by like-minded courageous and thinking Muslim men and women. To me, this was the best part of the book. Moderate, fair-minded people must speak out or lose to the tyrant minority, be it Hitler, Khomeini, Putin, or others like them.
What a good read. I have tried to convince anyone who will listen that the Koran is not violent nor does it degrade women. The same for early application of Islam. But whole societies within countries and entire countries that apply Islam falsely make modern Islam hard to embrace. Asra Nomani presents this point in her wonderful read.
This is something everyone should read, no question. Nomani has such a gift for opening the hearts of her readers unbeknownst to them. You find yourself looking at people differently and realizing that everyone is the same the world over, no matter the religion or culture. It isn't just that, though. It's a gift to be going along with her on her journey, and learn as she learns, though her knowledge is vast already. But it's now just about her journey, it's also about where things went drastically wrong in the middle east, our part in it, and what is causing so much strife now. If you are wanting to understand the heart of Islam, the history and present, this is a great place to start.
