Irshad Manji Bücher

Seit wann verbietet ein barmherziger Gott Freude – oder Spaß? Warum vergeuden wir die Fähigkeiten von Frauen, der Hälfte der Schöpfung? Wer ist der wirkliche Kolonisator der Muslime – Amerika oder Arabien? Solche und weitere provokante Fragen stellt Irshad Manji, im Westen lebende gläubige Muslima in diesem Buch. Mit viel Mut, bestechender Logik und einer gehörigen Prise Humor wehrt sie sich gegen das traditionelle Denkverbot, beleuchtet die Widersprüche des Islam, beschreibt die wechselvolle Geschichte dieser Religion und zeigt, dass Freiheit, Demokratie, Menschenrechte und Gewaltverzicht mit dem Koran vereinbar sind. Nur durch die Integration dieser Werte kann es einen friedlichen und modernisierten Islam geben, der gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Entfaltung gewährleistet.

In "The Trouble with Islam Today," Irshad Manji addresses the crises within mainstream Islam, highlighting issues like tribal insularity and anti-Semitism. She advocates for an Islamic reformation that empowers women and encourages independent thinking. Manji urges both Muslims and non-Muslims to engage in open dialogue and question prevailing norms.

Freedom of speech versus "freedom of screech." Uncivil showdowns over Civil War symbols. From Trump's wall to the walls we erect against those we disagree with and even hate, both online and off. America and the world have never been more fractured. Now what?What can decent people do to heal the caustic chasms without compromising our personal convictions? How do we stand our ground yet seek common ground? Where's the guide to drawing unity from the politics of identity? It has arrived. Don't Label Me will equip us to engage the "other" in a way that's at once effective and ethical.Irshad Manji holds a scrappy yet tender conversation with her Other: a senior dog named Lily. Raised in a culture that deemed dogs evil, Manji learns from her fur elder the transformative power of moving beyond labels, be they racial, sexual, religious, partisan, or species-supremacist. Together, she and Lily show that diversity, when practiced honestly, encourages conflicting points of view while revealing that we're all so much more than the assumptions we make about each other. Infused with scholarly insights and punctuated with stories about Manji's experiences as a refugee from Africa, a Muslim immigrant to the U.S., and a professor of moral courage, Don't Label Me offers a gift to every global citizen: concrete tips on how to start and sustain the toughest, most taboo conversations.

In Allah, Liberty and Love, Irshad Manji paves a path for Muslims and non-Muslims to transcend the fears that stop so many of us from living with honest-to- God the fear of offending others in a multicultural world as well as the fear of questioning our own communities. Since publishing her international bestseller, The Trouble with Islam Today, Manji has moved from anger to aspiration. She shows how any of us can reconcile faith with freedom and thus discover the Allah of liberty and love€”the universal God that loves us enough to give us choices and the capacity to make them. Among the most visible Muslim reformers of our era, Manji draws on her experience in the trenches to share stories that are deeply poignant, frequently funny and always revealing about these morally confused times. What prevents young Muslims, even in the West, from expressing their need for religious reinterpretation? What scares non-Muslims about openly supporting liberal voices
