What I criticize is the way she does it. Melissa,

She just wants peace and to return islam to the beautiful religion it once was (and to some extent still is). I do not subscribe to a certain religion but I DO respect religion because I know that each religion has a basic message and that is peace. Man twists into something ugly and then people follow the word of man, not the word of God. Look at the horrors the Catholics created in the middle ages of Europe. None of that would have happend if people would have looked into their own heart, intead of a book. I may be wrong, being a humble student, but I want to think that she really wants people to think for themselves, to see what religion is within ther own hearts. i have read her books and have heard her debate on television and I just understand where she is coming from.

I am not saying having academic background makes you the person for everything. What I am saying is that without a structured mindset you may have difficulties producing a structured discussion. To my understanding, that's exactly her problem. Melissa,

I believe that our passions come from inside us. Believe it or not Martin Luther King Jr. didn't major in African American History and he was (and still is) a major figurehead in civil rights. I respect Irshad Manji because she fights for understanding. And not for understanding between islam and other religions but for th development of understanding between her people.

People bash her for her homosexuality and hardly, I mean very rarely, see them argue against her points. I never said all are, I said vast majority are. Keep in mind that this is based on my conversations with Muslims living in Canada of South Asian origin.
