Irshad Manji Reihenfolge der Bücher

"America's founding genius is diversity of thought. Which is why social justice activists won't win by labeling those who disagree with them. At a time when minorities are fast becoming the majority, a truly new America requires a new way to tribe out. Enter Irshad Manji and her dog, Lily. Raised to believe that dogs are evil, Manji overcame her fear of the "other" to adopt Lily. She got more than she bargained for. Defying her labels as an old, blind dog, Lily engages Manji in a taboo-busting conversation about identity, power, and politics. They're feisty. They're funny. And in working through their challenges to one another, they reveal how to open the hearts of opponents for the sake of enduring progress. Readers who crave concrete tips will be delighted. Studded with insights from epigenetics and epistemology, layered with the lessons of Bruce Lee, Ben Franklin, and Audre Lorde, punctuated with stories about Manji's own experiences as a refugee from Africa, a Muslim immigrant to the U.S., and a professor of moral courage, Don't Label Me makes diversity great again."--Publisher description

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

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.
