About this product

Product Information

The press has been filled with information and misinformation about the true nature of Islam. Hasan represents what is left out of the daily newspapers and explains why being a Muslim is not merely a matter of birth, but it is a matter of choice. In the wake of 9-11, the activities of Osama Bin Laden and Hamas, and the most recent Gulf War, the western press has been filled with information and mis-information about the true nature of Islam. Is it a feudal misogynist belief system that is a threat to Western values? Is it an ideology of oppression? Or, is it a religion that is as varied as Christianity; a "big tent" that includes not only bomb-throwing ideologues, but also those committed to an authentic spirituality that embraces many of the values shared by the mainstream in Europe and America? Why I am a Muslim is an attempt to grapple with these issues. Part memoir, part polemic, it represents the side of Islam that is left out of the daily newspapers. For Hasan, being a Muslim is not merely a matter of birth, but it is a matter of choice. In seven chapters, she presents seven reasons why she is committed to Islam and why it is a viable spiritual option for anyone. 1. Because I was born Muslim. 2. Because Islam gives me a direct relationship with God. 3. Because Islam has a rich mystical tradition in Sufism. 4. Because Islam allows and expects me to make mistakes. 5. Because Islam is ethnically diverse. 6. Because Islam is a woman's religion. 7. Because being Muslim makes me a better American (and being American makes me a better Muslim).

Better than Expected
I realize that some potential readers are angry Amber Frey might make some money from this book. I disagree. I think, if you're interested in the Scott Peterson case and want to read more information about it, this book will fit the bill. She has a story to tell and she went through quite a bit of emotional anguish. This book clearly isn't about making money, although, really, I don't see the harm in that. It's clearly about telling her story and clearing up misconceptions that may have been formed about her. Amber's tale IS interesting. She is an honest woman who found herself involved with a dishonest unscrupulous sociopathic man. There is information here that the media couldn't tell us and some more insight into Scott's terrifying amoral behavior. As an added plus, Amber's life can actually be considered inspirational. She honestly admits the poor choices she's made in the past and discusses how she overcame all of the obstacles she's faced.Read full review

WHY I BOUGHT THE BOOK "WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION"
I bought "Witness for the Prosecution" by Amber Frye because I want to be able to read the book twenty years from now if I feel like it (I'm sixty-four years old). I want my own record of what happened to Laci. I want to remember Scott Peterson when I'm mad at my husband, so I can compare him to Scott Peterson and make him look good. The case changed me forever. I've lived a hard life myself and thought I was already "street wise" but I now know without a trace of doubt that you cannot trust ANYONE. It's ETCHED into my brain and I'll do my best to etch it into my daughter's and granddaughter's brains. Too many men are killing, beating, raping, and otherwise abusing women. Why? What I like about the book and the way the case was handled in the media, especially by court tv, was the respect shown to Amber. I loved seeing highly intelligent and educated female lawyers and prosecutors treat Amber like an equal. Thank you to all the amazing women on court tv for empowering other women. You are the ultimate role models.Read full review

Witness OK
This book gave me a a lot of insight into what was going on behind the scenes in the Laci Peterson case. I can honestly say that I was undecided as to Scott's guilt before reading this book as well as the book that Scott's sister wrote "Blood Brother". After reading these two books, there is no doubt that Scott is guilty. Amber is like a lot of young women these days. Too trusting and too quick to fall in love. I cannot fathom why Amber jumps from relationship to relationship. I can say that I probably wouldn't have taken Scott too seriously if I would've dated him. Like they say, if it is too good to be true, it probably is. This is not one of those books you will read twice, but is definately worth the read.

Witness by Amber Frey
Witness is an Ok book, but nothing that will make you want to read it again. Amber does show a side of Scott Peterson that most were unaware of. My thoughts about her character are mixed. Who would let a strange pick your child up from daycare after only just meeting them? How could she fall in love with him so quickly and after reporting their affair to the police become pregnant by yet another man? She is to be commended to help the police through wiretapping her conversations with Scott, which I feel helped convice this MONSTER. The biggest problem I have with her book is I feel she wrote it for herself NOT to show her relationship with him. I believe she wants to become some famous ( acting, modeling etc.) and she felt by writing this book would give her the name recognition she needed. Some insight into Scott and his sociopath personality, but think it could have been written better since it was about her relationship with him NOT about her life as well.Read full review

Witness by Amber Frey
After seeing the book in the store and reading through it, I decided not to waste my money. I found it ever dramatic and she sounded like she was in the wrong century. Amber Frey tries to sound as though she is a naive, innocent, fragile woman when she is far from it. She never had a problem dating married men before and she went into those relationships with her eyes wide open. She has been proven to be as much of a cheater and a liar as Scott Peterson by cheating on her boyfriend with a married man and then lying to her boyfriend by telling him he was the father of her daughter when she had to have known there was a chance her married boyfriend was the father. I am pretty sure she did the math when found out she was pregnant like most women do. Instead of telling her now ex boyfriend it was possible another man could be the father, she allowed him and his family to believe he was the father. If she had told him from the beginning, it could have been all cleared up after her daughter was born. How sad for both her daughter and Anthony's family to learn years later he wasn't the father.Read full review
