Hello, Munawar,I thank you for the suggestion. I will look for this book. I rather believe that there are so many things we don't understand in regard to the culture of the Middle East, and what we do hear is often quite frightening.
Being an eternal optimist, I would like to think that one day we can better accept the cultural differences and live in this world in peace.
Again, thank you so much for the suggestion as that sounds like a good place to start.

Hi,Regarding books on the Middle East, a good book that I have submitted speaksof Islam's actual teachings in terms of marriage and respect for women. While this does not directly relate to the Middle East, it will help you understand where some countries go wrong. The book is called "marriage andMorals in Islam." It is rated a s good quality, but that is only because of several Arabic words in the book. I validated it before I submitted it, as Ido with all of my books. I think you will enjoy it if you are in to Middle Eastern culture--at least, the ideal culture. Smile. Munawar A. Bijani Are you certain you will awaken from bed tomorrow?

I signed up for this list last weekend just before we learned of Mr. Galindo's untimely passing, and though I took time to express my sympathy, I didn't think that was the time to do this. I am Dianne Phelps from Napa, California and have been a member of Bookshare for almost two years and have been so totally blessed by this wonderful service. Having this type of access to a library has truly been a joy for me, and I find I am doing most of my reading with Bookshare. I plan to upgrade my Kurzweil software before too long and would like to start seriously contributing to the library. I thought it would be good to meet others who enjoy reading and that I might learn of other titles to look for. With Ibrahim's introduction yesterday, it will be interesting to meet others who enjoy the system. I, too, would like to become more knowledgeable about the Middle East and would welcome any title selections which could be offered in this regard. I look forward to reading posts of others, including Shelly whom I know through Guide Dogs. Dianne B.
