Surprisingly, Muslims don't like this book.....
Seriously, this is an excellent read. Some chapters are a bit hard going, but the conclusions they come to make it worth the slog. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a woman to be admired for her intellect and her courage. Muslims hate this book because they fear it. They fear it because it may cause them to question aspects of their religion, and their religion (which they must neither question nor leave, on pain of death) will only take a few holes poked in it before it's revealed as a tissue paper facade.
The whole book is brilliant, and the highlight is the screenplay for the film that got van Gogh murdered by a frightened Muslim.
Thank you Ayaan for sharing this with us.

comes across as authors personal grudge against islam, recommend the islamist by ed husain a more liberal and broad minded book on islam that challenges western distortions and misunderstandings of the religion in a highly commendable manner as well as the british born authors personal interior journey through islam by visiting different muslim countries suitable for muslims and non muslims alike very easy to read and understand
Excellent, simply and honeslty March 29, 2008

Forget the 1 star reviews, these are just the expected views of Muslims who like to keep their woman in an oppressive world, you should be ashamed!
Islamophobia is a myth, get over it!

I first read this author's later book, 'Infidel', first. That is one of the best books I have read. Beautifully written, amazing and informative.
So, I got this book, 'Caged Virgin'. Don't bother. Compared with the later book it is inexpertly written, boring and repetitive.
However, the author is an amazing person.
