Karen Armstrong is a good writer. I am not sure why this Kera-Jaan is banning her works but you can obtain her books through Amazon.

I don't know about you, but when someone tells me I can't do, say, feel, or in this case read something; I'm compelled to do it, say it, feel it, and read it.
Good luck in your journey of enlightenment.

You what whats ironic?
Karen Amstrong is accused to be an apologist of Islam by some people.
And furthermore, in the excellent documentary "Muhammad" aired on NGEO last yr, she was feature prominently....
and our G decides to ban her books, which has been in publication for quite soem time now ( u can get in in SG )
