The Trouble With Islam Today – A Muslim’s Call for Reform in Her Faith – by Irshad Manji


Author Irshad Manji is now one of my favorite authors and socio-political activists.

There’s a line in this book that seems to have become embedded in my soul: “Irrigate the desert with ideas.” Think about it.

This is the ONE of the Best Books I have read in 2007. Nearly every point that Irshad makes about reform in Islam today, is pertinent for Christianity today.

This book is required reading for anyone associated with the emergent movement.

I would like to see Irshad speak at an emergent conference so people can awaken to the reality that there are Muslims speaking out about the necessity of reform, just as many in other faith persuasions are (including the Christian faith).

Guess what….We’re advocating much the same thing. It’s time to start conversing with one another.
