RE "The Trouble With Islam Today" by Irshad Manji, recommended by Albert:
I also highly recommend this book.
Manji asks the tough, unavoidable questions that need to be dealt with both
within contemporary Islam and outside of it. Her advantage is that she is a
Muslim who speaks from direct experience and not only from observation. I've
heard many of the same issues raised by my friend Nadia, a former Egyptian;
as a young and free-thinking Muslim woman, she corroborates Manji's account.
The book has been translated into over 20 languages at this time and has
earned her death-threats from inside the Canadian Muslim community. (That,
of course, simply reinforces one of her major points about today's Islam and
tolerance.)
Best wishes,
Ian Kluge
