Why it was banned
Karen Armstrong's scholarly study of religious fundamentalism across three traditions, banned in Malaysia in 2007 by the Home Ministry under the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 as one of 18 books on Islamic and interfaith topics. Armstrong's books on Islam have been widely praised for their balanced approach; the Malaysian ban was condemned by ARTICLE 19 as an unjustified restriction.
