Irshad Manji is by her own admission not a scholar of Islam, the Qur'an, or Hadith literature. Her widely publicized, emotional appeal to the Muslim people led to her being both shunned and embraced by Muslims the world over.
I am no great fan of her writing however her response today to the death threats issued earlier this week from MPs in Pakistan and Iran following the Knighting of Salman Rushdie by the British monarch is a resounding call for Muslims worldwide to tighten up before blowing up.
