{"product_id":"sexuality-in-islam-abdelwahab-bouhdiba-9780415439152","title":"Sexuality in Islam","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1985. Beginning with the Qur'an, Abdelwahab Bouhdiba confronts the question of male supremacy in Islam, and the strict separation of the masculine and the feminine. He gives an account of purification practices, of Islamic attitudes towards homosexuality, concubinage, legal marriage and of the sexual taboos laid down by the Qur'an. He assesses present-day sexual practice, including eroticism, misogyny and mysticism and concludes that the sexual alienation - and even oppression - of modern Muslim women is the result not of the Islamic vision of sexuality, but of social and economic pressures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abdelwahab Bouhdiba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415439159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415439152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Abdelwahab Bouhdiba","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066699755775,"sku":"9780415439152","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_193c86f1-9a86-425e-9502-1f7a8a71e9a9.jpg?v=1768679961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexuality-in-islam-abdelwahab-bouhdiba-9780415439152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
