Islam is on very thin ice with me.... Through our screaming self-pity and our conspicuous silences, we Muslims are conspiring against ourselves. We're in crisis and we're dragging the rest of the world with us. If ever there was a moment for an Islamic reformation, it's now. For the love of God, what are we doing about it?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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. But her message is ultimately positive. 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. Her vision revives \"ijtihad,\" Islam's lost tradition of independent thinking. In that spirit, Irshad has a refreshing challenge for both Muslims and non-Muslims: Don't silence yourselves. Ask questions---out loud. \u003ci\u003eThe Trouble with Islam Today\u003c\/i\u003e is a clarion call for a fatwa-free future.","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51172724375863,"sku":"9780312327002","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/9926\/1239\/files\/imageloader_9be1cb62-09f5-46a7-8f72-ea3f595ca3a2.jpg?v=1759749208","url":"https:\/\/shop.queerbooks.com\/products\/trouble-with-islam-today-a-muslims-call-for-reform-in-her-faith","provider":"Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni's Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
