The latter is just homophobic propaganda, not truth.

Caliphate of Harlem wrote:On liberalism, women's and LGBTQ rights I choose Joseph Massad's book Islam In Liberalism. It's a pretty scathing analysis of how Western Liberals tend to view the rest of the world, the ways in which they think their social and legal norms ought to govern everybody and how they project everything negative onto the Islam and the Third World. Massad argues that Liberalism has become a kind of intolerant missionizing religion, pretty scathing but very interesting.
On development and economics I'm going with Arturo Escobar's Against Development. He criticises the idea of development, poverty and progress, busts a lot of myths we just assume are true. Difficult read but a pretty good one.
Saba Mahmood's Religious Difference in a Secular Age: A Minority Report. A lot of people assume that religious violence is caused by the existence of religions themselves and that secularism is the solution to the problem, Mahmood looks at the ways in which secularist policies in the Middle East worsened religious tensions more often than they've solved them.
