Her book is a plea for outrage and action on their behalf, confronting the 'toxic mix of culture and religion that few seem willing or able to disentangle lest they blaspheme or offend'" --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 323.34095 El Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.34095 Eltahawy Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.34095 El Checked In Add Copy to MyList
