So, I was wondering, what do those of you who are Muslim think of Irshad Manji? If you are unfamiliar with her, she is the Muslim author of "The Trouble With Islam Today: A Muslim's Call For Reform In Her Faith" and she made the documentary "Faith Without Fear," both of which are basically about fighting racism/sexism/homophobia/other-bad-things in Islam. Personally, I think she's really cool and I find her take on Islam to be very refreshing, but there are other people who say that she's "not a real Muslim" or who disagree with her interpretations of Islam. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? She lies. Islam teaches that women and men are equal and that all are to be tolerated. Islamic countries have allowed women to vote for 1,400 years. This concept was unknown to any other religion or culture. She must have not been a good Muslim, because if she were, she'd know the beliefs of Islam. Oh well, what are you going to do? neutral

Her book is called "The Trouble With Islam Today." She does know the beliefs of Islam very well; the point of the book is that other people who claim to be Muslim and use Islam to justify their sexism or homophobia or whatever don't really know Islam. She's not a liar; I think you just got a little confused about her being against certain sects of Islam and not Islam itself.

Actually ... Christianity does mention stoning homosexuals ... but that's off topic. I fully understand. But I'm not saying that it's her fault that she was subject to prejudice. Though, if she claims that Islam is the fault, then she hasn't read the Qur'an, or the Hadith, which completely contradict what she claims, which, if I'm not mistaken, is a requirement for getting into Paradise in the Islam religion.

I withdraw my statement (though I hate the idea that Islam has sects when any changes to the Qur'an or it's statements isn't Islam anymore according to the Qur'an itself. x]).

God destroys the town and all those townspeople, not because the men were gay, but rather because they were sexually assaulting someone.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. That doesn't talk about sexual assault ...

She's doing a good thing. I saw this because I'm looking at her mission at face value. I'll have to do more research on her.
I think so many Muslims are scared to admit that from the time of the Prophet, the state of Muslims in terms of tolerance has deteriorated. Prophet Muhammd (SAW) lived amongst Jews, Christians and Arab Pagans..and now... neutral

HollywoodNobody OOT why does ibrahim offers his virgin daughter? Cause Abraham is an a*****e who thinks that women's pain is less important than those of men even if those women are his innocent children.

Aakosir blindfaith^_^ HollywoodNobody OOT why does ibrahim offers his virgin daughter? Cause Abraham is an a*****e who thinks that women's pain is less important than those of men even if those women are his innocent children. Biblical times are way past now. I won't argue that no one believes that anymore but I think most modern audiences would disagree. I don't know of a religion that supports rape, especially if the parties aren't married.
