🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

A controversial novel where the government and leaders in France become more and more Islam, to cling to their careers. It's not so impossible. 

Today Europe is tired.
Now moving away from Christianity and Individualism, freedom, and social justice, what they want is a big religion, a bigger than life idea to bow to, where you can ignore women's right and live only thinking about themselves.
Even if that means they submit to Islam.
After all which is better, certainly not Fascism.
Very provocative, but not so impossible.

I must add that it makes you sick while reading this that it simplifies a religion that is complex and has deep history, whether you are a Muslim or not. And it's totally understandable that it made Muslim people angry, it's provocative yes, but a bit sick.
