"Carla Power's intimate portrait of the Quran captures the extraordinary, living debate over the Muslim holy book's very essence. A spirited, compelling read."-Azadeh Moaveni, author of Lipstick Jihad
If the Oceans Were Ink is Carla Power's eye-opening story of how she and her longtime friend Sheikh Mohammad Akram Nadwi found a way to confront ugly stereotypes and persistent misperceptions that were cleaving their communities. Their friendship-between a secular American and a madrasa-trained sheikh-had always seemed unlikely, but now they were frustrated and bewildered by the battles being fought in their names. Both knew that a close look at the Quran would reveal a faith that preached peace and not mass murder; respect for women and not oppression. And so they embarked on a yearlong journey through the controversial text.
A journalist who grew up in the Midwest and the Middle East, Power offers her unique vantage point on the Quran's most provocative verses as she debates with Akram at cafes, family gatherings, and packed lecture halls, conversations filled with both good humor and powerful insights. Their story takes them to madrasas in India and pilgrimage sites in Mecca, as they encounter politicians and jihadis, feminist activists and conservative scholars. Armed with a new understanding of each other's worldviews, Power and Akram offer eye-opening perspectives, destroy long-held myths, and reveal startling connections between worlds that have seemed hopelessly divided for far too long.

評分- 這是我第一本讀與伊斯蘭教相關的書,說來真慚愧。過去讀《消失的國民》時有提到中國的迴族,但當時比較是從歷史的角度去看,沒有注意伊斯蘭的教義本身。 - 之前讀《世界史的結構時》,突然覺得自己對中亞、印度等地的豪不認識,實在說不過去,於是想慢慢開拓這方麵的閱讀。 -...

今年讀過最好的一本書,不僅讓我對伊斯蘭和可蘭經有更好的瞭解,而使我意識到人類曆史的長河裏沉澱下來的精華都無一例外地閃爍著的人類最值得珍惜的價值。此作品是新聞書寫對文學的寶貴貢獻。推薦給所有希望瞭解世界和他人的讀者。
評分在如今眾多的“伊斯蘭是崇尚和平的,是反對暴力的”書裏算是文筆不錯。但這類的書到底是寫給對伊斯蘭不瞭解的大眾的。但在讀者明白瞭古蘭經是像托拉和聖經一樣的宗教典籍之後呢?但是單單呼喚“我們對伊斯蘭社會要有耐心”,是不能夠幫助被炮火轟炸的敘利亞、利比亞和也門的,是不能推翻埃及的軍事獨裁
