Sample Annotated Bibliography

Hitchens, Christopher. “Don’t Mince Words: The London Car-Bomb Plot was Designed to Kill Women.” Slate Magazine. Posted July 2, 2007.

Hitchens considers the summer plot of terrorists in Britain and once again insists that Islam itself is dangerous as an anti-modern ideology. Hitchens is a devout secularist, and it is clear that he is willing to take events perhaps farther than they were intended to make his argument. There is no real evidence that the Glasgow plot was designed to kill women. Had it succeeded it would likely have, but Hitchens has no proof that women were a special target of the attack.

Ilkkaracan, Pinar. Women, Sexuality, and Social Change in the Middle East and the Maghreb. Social Research. Vol. 69, No. 3. (Fall 2002)

Ilkkaracan offers an interesting defense of Islam as the root of women’s repression and considers social, economic, political and historical factors as offering a better explanation of the on-going efforts to repress women in the Islamic world.

Inglehart, Ronald, and Pippa Norris. The True Clash of Civilizations. Foreign Policy Mar/ Apr 2003 Issue 135. p. 62-7.

Inglehart and Norris offer a persuasive but incomplete analysis of misogyny as a part of modern Islamic culture. The survey results are interesting, but do not alone persuade that Islamic societies are inimical to women and particularly that Islam is the problem. Their information is a useful addition to the analysis of modern Islamic societies, but it is only a part of the story.
