This argues against veiling from within the Islamic tradition with style and using traditional Islamic methods. The only difference from the major traditional way of arguing is that it is a modern Moroccan female Academic doing the arguing although the author would point to historical examples of them atttempting to do so dating back to Islam's very beginnings. The possibly blasphemous but intriguing premise seems to be in part that God and man had a conversation in early Islam that men have always deliberately misinterpreted. A most rewarding read. ( )
