Yes, muslims accuse Israel but really should get their own house in order. Yes, lots of muslims are inflexible and narrow-minded. I grew up muslim but semi-abandoned it after a much soul searching and research. Hardly! I qualify for the title refusenik too. I bet you think I'm yet another fundie terrorist writing this review. Would you try another book from Irshad Manji and/or Irshad Manji? You will love the musical surprises, too! In this audiobook, her voice rings clearly, compassionately, and passionately. Irshad Manji's message for Muslims and non-Muslims? Dare to ask questions - out loud. This vision builds on "ijtihad" (ij-tee-had), Islam's lost tradition of independent thinking. Irshad offers a practical vision of how reform-minded Muslim can empower women, promote respect for religious minorities and foster a competition of ideas. And a rejection of universal human rights as if they are incompatible with the Divine.Īs a faithful Muslim, Irshad shows that Islam has the raw material to rectify these injustices. An uncritical approach to the Quran as the final and therefore superior word of God. In this audiobook, narrated by her, Irshad explains the disturbing attitudes with which too many of her fellow Muslims practice Islam today: Arab cultural tribalism posing as pure faith. Winner of Oprah's first "Chutzpah Award" for boldness, Irshad Manji is among the world's most visible - and vocal - Muslim reformers.
