![]() ![]() The Trouble with Islam Today is a clarion call for a fatwa-free future. In that spirit, Irshad has a refreshing challenge for both Muslims and non-Muslims: Don't silence yourselves. Her vision revives "ijtihad," Islam's lost tradition of independent thinking. She offers a practical vision of how Islam can undergo a reformation that empowers women, promotes respect for religious minorities, and fosters a competition of ideas. For the love of God, what are we doing about it?" In this open letter, Irshad Manji unearths the troubling cornerstones of mainstream Islam today: tribal insularity, deep-seated anti-Semitism, and an uncritical acceptance of the Koran as the final, and therefore superior, manifesto of God's will. With guts and sincerity Manji insists that readers face some of the most important questions troubling the world today.
