@TeraPeoPunjabi No it's people like you no one takes seriously, stuck in 7th century

I am a Muslim, and I am very proud of her. She is brave, and she inspires people like me. Although, I know she has mistitled her book, I now understand that she meant to title her book "the trouble with Muslims today".

@blacklight019 and what is that?

[GoldenMoonIB]

@TeraPeoPunjabi You again? You seriously need to get educated.

wikipedia can often be wackypedia. Be careful about your sources of information and use many sources. The truth will lie somewhere in the middle ground....

[sufined]

she dnt even look like a muslim women..no one at her first sight well say she is Muslim and trying to do good for them..lol go and do some good for your self first

[kawaiigardiner]

RE: sufined, nice to see you evaluate someones piety based on performing what you perceive to be Islam. Islam is more than just wearing wearing the right clothes or eating the right things.

A mere scarf means very little if you don't have the hijab in your heart.

A mere scarf means very little if you do not have faith.

Astaghferuallah. Murtadd. She has an appointment with the Fire.

[TheMuziekmann]

asalaam- why do u say that? nothing she said is anti-islamic

[sirajrizvi]

muslims are lost in negativity and have lost their minds and islam and quran is the only torch they can rely on to reform their nasty ideologies and close minds !

[straightchris]

I didn't know that Irshad could speak Arabic! According to wikipedia As'ad AbuKhalil: "[asserts] Manji is not trained in Islamic scholarship, history, or the Arabic language, and as such ignores the multiplicity of debates and traditions within Islam."

[Hippo724]

I think it's that she can read Arabic well enough to understand the Quran, but isn't fluent enough to understand all the subtle nuances in the language (just like how many foreign learners of English have a hard time grasping all of our sarcasm, etc).

However, to criticize her for that would be absurd and she does do the best she can to understand the Quran and she does a fabulous job at it.

It would be just as ludicrous to say that unless you can read Greek you can't understand the bible.

chris: isn`t that quote for wikipedia OBVIOUSLY written by a manji hater? come on, man... it's such a subjective statement clearly written to undermine manji's perspective.

[kawaiigardiner]

RE: straightchris, I wouldn't trust Wikipedia given that anyone can edit it to suite their agenda.
