Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law Review
My father was career military. 1962 a Cuban/Soviet missile was pointed at us (Carswell AFB, & General Dynamics) I started studying war. In 1967 `world religion' was the curriculum in a Catholic high school. Mohammed impressed me as a military conqueror inventing a religion as a weapon. Nonie's book gave clarity on details of that weapon and has piqued my interest learning more about Islam. During the Shah of Iran my father trained Iranian officers, who also were guests in our home. My heart ached when crazed Khomeini took power.
In this book I learned Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in an `official statement': "A man can quench his sexual lusts with a child as young as a baby." Khomeini as a pedophile is a newly learned facet of Islam darkness. His statement goes on detailing allowed child sexual abuse (abuse by Western standards). Could this `theology' be part of today's slavery primarily of children sex slaves and the largest slavery in the history of mankind?
Nonie wrote about clergy and rulers are above the law, don't have to follow their Sharia laws. This gave understanding to Saddam Hussein and his sons' behavior. Brutal subjugation of women, living near the largest Islamic community in America (Dearborn MI) gives a new view of Muslims in America. Thank God we do not allow polygamy and other sins against children and women. At least in America we have laws. How well enforced is another topic.
Nonie stating the word `love' is absent from the Koran was another `aha' for me. There is no forgiveness, and repetitive amount of terror to infidels/Jews/Christians, I was sadly `enlightened' to the darkness. The nine year old `wife' of Mohammed - Aisha - his last wife (of several) there is much controversy, but the reality is females were bought and sold with no rights, and that is still part of today's hard core Muslim countries. I am so glad to be living in Judao/Christian America. This book made amazing contrast that I take for granted.
Then the chapter on `Egypt: A Case Study" the bizarre way a woman can end up in jail related to conversions that are not even conversions- the Coptic Christians in America and Canada shaming Egypt into releasing an imprisoned Christian woman . . . I was stunned in Egypt to convert from Muslim to Christianity is criminal - so I Googled that detail - was totally taken aback, had no idea how unjust Egypt is even today [...]
The massive amount of resources in Nonie's bibliography - I am impressed with the amount of data backing what she thoroughly researched.
Nonie- thanks for your guts to write this book . . . my heart aches more for those born into Islam.
Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law Overview
Cruel and Usual Punishment is a wake up call to the Western world.
Nonie Darwish presents an insider's look at Sharia and examines how radical Muslim laws are destroying the Western world from within. Living under Sharia law for the first thirty years of her life,a virtual slave to Islamic law, Darwish never questioned or challenged her rights--or dared to even think about the validity of Sharia laws. She didn't try to examine what Sharia was, how it came about or why she followed it. "This is Allah's law," she was told, and she knew what awaited those who questioned Allah's law.
But she doesn't believe the lies anymore, and now she wants to share her experiences with the Western world. Cruel and Usual Punishment is an insider's look at how Muslims sacrifice their basic human rights to obey the archaic and brutal laws handed down to their prophet centuries ago.
Heed this warning: Sharia Law is attempting to infiltrate Western culture and destroy democracy.

Disquieting to say too little. - Harry F. Drabik - Northern Minnesota
After reading this book I can only say I hope it's exagerated or things aren't as bad as they sound. If you want an argument for why separation of church and state is necessary this book provides it. Where church and state combine the result is awful. In the case of Islam it seems worse in fostering closed, repressive, and regressive societies. I'd quote Winston Churchill on "Muhamedenism," but you can look that one up for yourself. Looks like what appeared to be true to Chruchill is still on target today.

A catalyst for further reading
I see that some reviews are quite passionate, either at the "pro-Nonie" or "anti-Nonie" end of the spectrum. I write this review for the reader who is newer to this topic. When I picked up this book, I had little to no knowledge on the subject of Sharia law. I by no means think I am now an expert, but I am definitely eager to research, read and learn more. I thought the book was well written, well researched and from a reliable source. I have definitely not reached any one conclusion regarding the issue, but this book gave me a place to start. I think it is a worthwhile read and eye opening.
