Panel Discussion: Irshad Manji (4 0f 6)

[flasha]

Irshad manji is a LESBIAN and lesbianism Is not acceptable! In Islam. Muslims around the world don't like her nor listen to her she is a munafiqh! And a disease. Look at your own religion and it's errors, it doesn't make sense and contradicts itself in every way. Do u know the statistics of gays and lesbians in Christianity? Well let me tell you... It's more than any other religions in the world. So before you say a religion sucks, think how much yours sucks first.

[flasha]

Who the fuck are those two? He is a scholar? Where is the Mark of sunnah? The Mark of Islam? How can u take advice from someone that calls himself a Muslim scholar but doesn't even look like a Muslim. MashAllah only the sister in hijab looks like a Muslim and the other two or three... SNM

[tpjl25]

jrock's head is in his ass.

[serappia]

islam sucks! why would a lesbian choose to follow islam? is beyond comprehension, would be like a black person following the KKK.

[foenvy1]

I find this women to be nothing less then a devil in disgise,

How dare she claim to be a muslim, clearly she thinks were dumb

if i were here i would be ashamed to appear in front of a live audience

she dooes not look, talk, think, dress like a muslim.

shes a mouth and one confussed women.

i wonder how much the anti islamists paid her .

this women in deeply troubled.

[testchandra]

Irshad is failed deceiver and a puppet been pampered by those who feel threatened by Islamic believes as it challenges their ideology and they are right in doing as Islam carries message which eventually open the thought process of knowing the truth. Only her mum or Salman Rushdi can be on her side. She keeps on misinterpreting ijtahad and finally justifying of her being lesbian.

[activemuslim]

she dont have the right to talk on our religion, when she does not practice it's basic practice, which is Prayer

[simofleanta]

it is her religion as well and i don't think we should act Islamic or any other religion religion is not anyone's business .... as muslim you yould know that Koran tells you not to judge.....but to understand....it also tels you to think independently ...

Islam does not tell you hate....

[ProAhlulBayt1]

Its not her religion. She opposes Islam and its laws. You can't be Muslim if you have doubts about your religion.

[activemuslim]

Saeed Khan's answer about Ijtihad is superb.

there is some thing called speciality in every field of knowledge. if doctors says that sertain food is bad to health, then there is no room to public to say, no we have a different interpration for this!!

[cheersuk]

manji takes what she likes from the quran and criticises what she dislikes, this does not make her muslim. quran tells women to cover up , is she doing that. if she is a muslim she needs to accept each and every word of the quran and hadees.

[simofleanta]

no....she thinks independently which does make her muslim

[jrock42007]

those who are misguided none can guide aright unless ALLAH has mercy uopn that person.

it is easy to take the qur'an out of context and make it say things that it has never inteded much like peole have done with the bible. true adherents to both books know the difference. One of the meanings of the word Islam is "peace." One cannot blame the religion for the individual actions of some of its adherents...

[muslimahrevert]

I do not understand why she wants people to reform islam in the first place. We may need to reform some muslims, of course we do. But ISLAM in and of itself is perfect. this is the belief that is in us and without that belief you are not a muslim. not all that she is saying is bad but when she does mess up...she screws up like crazy.

[nemsison]

she is saying reform muslims more than islam but islam it self does need comparison with science and human rights so we can get a version of islam in which we have the right to inturpt not the imam that studied nothing all his life but the quran and hadith. This is why most imams hate her because they will lose there monoply on there people.

[jrock42007]

i see. what you said makes sense, perhaps my experience is different since im a convert so i have from the beginning studied islam from an interdisciplany approach including the sciences and human rights, i wonder what imams are afraid of then...its not like science and human rights contradict islam

[nemsison]

Well my friend I am sad to say that the quran does contradict science and human rights a little bit but thats why I want muslims to look at quran from a text base for a peacfull and forgiving life rather than the dogma around the quran and the fear and stigma to ask questions about the quran,muhammed and Islam itself, I really think if Irshad Manji succseeds Islam will be as peacefull as budhism or even more.

[jrock42007]

I would fear for the safety of all people ifreligions became as "peaceful as buddhism." what i mean is that in buddhisim if a person attacks you, you are forbbiden to defend yourself, in the name of being peaceful. that is illogical. the qur'an certainly makes provision for defending ones self, children, property, and oppressed peoples but it does not violate human rights. it upholds them, people who know islam know this.

[lettherebevideos]

irshad manji the hate spreader is at it again. Yawn.

[hueyot]

Do you think completely micharacterizing Irshad's positions is somehow helpful to accomplishing anything? She spreads any BUT hate.

[jrock42007]

i agree with you but i thik she does fuel the fire for peoples misconceptions about islam...people celebrate anything that goes against islam, so manji gets a good amount of attention. if she would have said i a looking to reform muslims that would have been understnadable becuase we do have personal issues, but trying to reform ISLAM...that is deserving of the punishment of shirk

[cckaarshe]

What happened to her response???? God. That guy who wanted to hold his own mic was cut off!!!!

[casssee]

Irshad Manji is too chicken to show another queer woman of color rebutting her. The whole section where such a debate takes place has been cut out. So much for freedom of expression...Once again, the trouble with Irshad Manji

[fastandfrightening]

Irshad Manji did not film this debate nor did she upload it. An impartial YouTube user (IvIastaYosh) was in the audience at a public library and filmed, edited, and uploaded the debate. Manji had nothing to do with the editing or uploading. Don't accuse Manji of being "too chicken" to show certain portions of this video when she had nothing to do with its publication! I don't know why you say "So much for freedom of expression" when Manji has made freedom of expression her life's work.

[lab696]

Again, a majority of Muslims have brains. No one is going to fall for this fake Ijtihad nonsense. No one is going to sit around and allow these self-righteous morons to tell them what Islam should be or shouldn't be. The only way out of Islam is Atheism, period!

[IvIastaYosh]

agreed!

[dawudwalid]

Wonderful response by Saeed Khan to Irshad's answer.
