Escape

I found time to read a very interesting book on the weekend. It was called "The Imam's Daughter", written by Hannan (Hannah) Shah. It is the story of escape from oppression, abuse, depression, deception, hypocrisy, secretiveness, violence, and physical and mental anguish.

Hannah starts her own story at age 5, growing up in Northern England with her Pakistani parents in a strictly Muslim neighbourhood. It gives good insight as to how a Muslim family operates, especially when surrounded by the safety of other Muslims. It is an indictment of the immigration policies of western nations, and an indictment of the Muslim culture. 

That Hannah was able to escape her bleak future and even survive the abuse at her father's hand is miracle. 

I have read enough books on this topic to have a very good picture of the Muslim religion and lifestyle, and have some insight as to why it is a danger to western civilisation. The fact that Hannah, now 32 years of age, is under threat of death, because she escaped, and is speaking out, attests to the horrors of her culture. 

It is an easy book to read, but will have an impact on anyone who reads it.
