It's Not Even a Woman's Secret
It's a stew of secrets for Syrian intellectual, author, troublemaker Nabil Fayyad. There was a fatwa issued over the internet calling for his death as punishment for what he wrote about one of the Prophet Muhammad's wives, Aisha. But the fatwa has been lifted, which he believes might signify secret plans being carried to take it out; and then there was the book that was mysteriously published in Egypt that got him in trouble; and the ban on his work forcing into secret in many other places. All in all, it's time he secreted away to where he hopes he will be safer: ""I was reassured [by Syrian officials] that the matter is under control and that nothing will happen to me if I stay, but I didn't take that seriously."
