As President Bush prepares to invade Iraq, Wall Street Journal correspondent Asra Nomani embarks on a dangerous journey to the Middle East to join her fellow Muslims on the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca required of all Muslims once in their lifetime. Nomani is determined to take along her infant son, Shibli — living proof that she, an unmarried Muslim woman, is guilty of zina, or “illegal sex." If she is found out, the puritanical Islamic law of the Wahabbis in Saudi Arabia may mete out terrifying punishment. Inspired by the heroic Muslim women of history, Nomani returns to America to confront the sexism and intolerance in her local mosque, and to fight for the rights of modern Muslim women. Nomani explores how many freedoms women enjoyed centuries ago have been erased by the conservative brand of Islam practiced today, giving the West a false image of Muslim women as veiled and isolated from the world. Interweaving reportage, political analysis, cultural history, and spiritual travelogue, Standing Alone gives Westerners a never-before-seen look inside the heart of Islam and the role of Muslim women. Asra Q. Nomani, a former Wall Street Journal correspondent, has written for the Washington Post, New York Times, and Time magazine on Islam, and has covered the war in Afghanistan for Salon. She has spoken about women’s rights in Islam on CNN, PBS, NPR, and the BBC. A Muslim born in India, Nomani was raised in the foothills of West Virginia, and currently lives in Morgantown with her son, Shibli. “[An] engrossing overview of Islam’s internal debates as seen through the eyes of a young single mother wrestling with her faith." — Washington Post | Standing Alone by Asra Nomani Paperback | Indigo Chapters.

As President Bush is preparing to invade Iraq, Wall Street Journal correspondent Asra Nomani embarks on a dangerous journey from Middle America to the Middle East to join more than two million fellow Muslims on the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca required of all Muslims once in their lifetime. Mecca is Islam's most sacred city and strictly off limits to non-Muslims. On a journey perilous enough for any American reporter, Nomani is determined to take along her infant son, Shibli -- living proof that she, an unmarried Muslim woman, is guilty of zina, or "illegal sex." If she is found out, the puritanical Islamic law of the Wahabbis in Saudi Arabia may mete out terrifying punishment. But Nomani discovers she is not alone. She is following in the four-thousand-year-old footsteps of another single mother, Hajar (known in the West as Hagar), the original pilgrim to Mecca and mother of the Islamic nation.Each day of her hajj evokes for Nomani the history of a different Muslim matriarch: Eve, from whom she learns about sin and redemption; Hajar, the single mother abandoned in the desert who teaches her about courage; Khadijah, the first benefactor of Islam and trailblazer for a Muslim woman's right to self-determination; and Aisha, the favorite wife of the Prophet Muhammad and Islam's first female theologian. Inspired by these heroic Muslim women, Nomani returns to America to confront the sexism and intolerance in her local mosque and to fight for the rights of modern Muslim women who are tired of standing alone against the repressive rules and regulations imposed by reactionary fundamentalists.Nomani shows how many of the freedoms enjoyed centuries ago have been erased by the conservative brand of Islam practiced today, giving the West a false image of Muslim women as veiled and isolated from the world. Standing Alone in Mecca is a personal narrative, relating the modern-day lives of the author and other Muslim women to the lives of those who came before, bringing the changing face of women in Islam into focus through the unique lens of the hajj. Interweaving reportage, political analysis, cultural history, and spiritual travelogue, this is a modern woman's jihad, offering for Westerners a never-before-seen look inside the heart of Islam and the emerging role of Muslim women., Paperback, Ausgabe: Reprint, Label: HarperOne, HarperOne, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2006-02-28, Freigegeben: 2006-02-28, Studio: HarperOne, Verkaufsrang: 85043.
