In this controversial and ground-breaking book, Irshad Manji-jornalist, iconoclast, rebel, and self-proclaimed Muslim Refusenik-exposes the disturbing cornerstones of Islam as its is widely practised today: tribal insularity, repression of women, and an uncritical acceptance of the Quran. But The Trouble with Islam Today goes deeper, offering a practical vision of an Islamic reformation that empowers women, promotes respect for religious minorities, and fosters a competition of ideas. Manji’s vision revives ijtihad, Islam’s lost tradition of independent thinking. In that spirit, Irshad Manji travels throughout the world with her challenge for both Muslims and non-Muslims: Dare to ask questions-out loud.
