Islamic sharia law (primitive laws purported to have been given by Muhammad to his followers over a thousand years ago) is finding its way into non-Muslim countries as Islam spread throughout Asia and Europe. Many Westerners, unaware of the threat sharia and Islam pose, passively allow or actively endorse this radical religious system of governance, but Nonie Darwish knows better. Having lived under sharia for half of her life, she accepted it unquestioningly until shortly before becoming a Christian, and now can bring her experience within Islam to inform others about the dangers of this system and its implications for non-Muslims. Cruel and Usual Punishment shows how sharia advocates the revocation of basic human rights and the destruction of democracy and Western culture written by an author who knows what both sides of the veil look like.
