Female Infanticide

A courageous Saudi historian, Marzuq Bin Tinbak, has published a book in which he questions the truth about the notion of female infanticide in pre-Islamic Arabia.  This is an important point on which research has been scant--or even discouraged.  The notion of female infanticide has been promoted by Islamic propaganda to underline the contribution of Islam in ending it.  This topic requires further research for sure.
