| May 14, 2017 at 9:18 | comment | added | Josh Friedlander | Thanks for that reference, OP. The top-rated answer there implies that the scope of this site includes "creative" or "literary" non-fiction. That certainly doesn't include scholarly works. In particular, your question is surely more suited to a forum on Sociology/Legal Philosophy/Islamic Studies or the like? | |

| May 14, 2017 at 8:16 | comment | added | Josh Friedlander | Meta-question: does a question about an academic work of non-fiction really fall under the umbrella of 'literature'? | |

| May 13, 2017 at 10:33 | comment | added | user80 | @user14111 I'm currently reading the book, and I can't really think of anything other than "this was written by a Muslim and is discussing Islam," which I guess some people would find intrinsically controversial for whatever reason. However, I have no clue why it would be controversial in Muslim spheres. I'm not familiar enough to say. (As to your other question, that's better suited for meta.) | |
| May 13, 2017 at 10:28 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | I think we've had a question about a "narrated" maths textbook here... Or maybe it was over at Mathematics -_- | |
| May 13, 2017 at 10:26 | comment | added | user14111 | What are your thoughts on the matter? Have you read the book? Did you find anything in it that might be controversial? By the way, is there anything at all that one can write a book about that would not be literature and on topic for this site? If I don't understand something in my mathematics textbook, can I ask about it here? | |
