I have a feeling the "Patricia Lee Dorff" and "William B. Quandt" documents are the same. But I'm not sure who the "real" author is.... WhisperToMe (talk) 23:14, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of argument of

Here is a block of text from the Resources for Feminist Research review:

"At a press conference for foreign reporters after Khomeini's funeral, Brooks takes President Rafsanjani's question to her as to why was she was wearing a heavy veil ("when a simple scarf would do") as a sign of the Islamists' surprising moderation (pp. 17 - 18). Again, she finds, delightedly, that the happiest couple she got to know was the most strictly observant of Muslim traditions (p. 61). Brooks also quotes the statements of Khomeini's daughter at lunch in the Iranian Embassy in London, and the opinions of devout women assigned to accompany her on her trips to Qum and elsewhere in Iran, as if they express views representative of all "women of Islam" (pp. 25 - 30)."

This is the information that supports the view that the author is taking unqualified opinions to show a general view of Islam.

The "heavy veil" quote is mentioned in some of the other reviews of this book WhisperToMe (talk) 09:22, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
