I am now reading 'The Arab Mind' a book by Raphael Patai. It was published in 1983. The author gives an unvarnished look at norms in Arab culture. I am learning SO much that I wanted to share it with more FREEPERS. Its an essential topic for us to know about given current events in our post-911 times. If anyone knows of more books on this or related topics, please share! Is there a recommended books list for FREEPERS anywhere on this site?
