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 integrity: 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 within
Islam? How did we get into the mess of tolerating
intolerable customs, such as honor killings, and how do we
change that noxious status quo? How can people ditch dogma
while keeping faith? Above all, how can each of us embark on
a personal journey toward moral courage—the willingness to
speak up when everybody else wants to shut you up?
Allah, Liberty and Love is the ultimate guide
to becoming a gutsy global citizen. Irshad Manji believes
profoundly not just in Allah, but also in her fellow human
beings.
