Does anyone else hate Irshad Manji? She's only slightly less useless than Rebecca Eckler, who will constantly remind you in the pages of the National Post that right after Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon she's the most important person you'll ever read about. No I'm for serious! Oh yeah back to eternal TV pundit, Irshad Jumanji
This is the greatest thing I've ever read about her:
"In person, Manji has a perky, Peter Pan-takes-on-the-pirates quality. This fits with her prose style, which is argumentative, direct, tightly reasoned and packed with knock-out punches. If you're reading this and thinking, she's every do-gooder who talked too much and was in too many extracurricular clubs in University, you're absolutely right. Manji is pretty much the embodiment of every overly opinionated person you ever met and hated."
"In The Trouble With Islam, Manji whips through several thousand years of Islamic history in just under 250 pages. Sometimes the ride is breathtakingly self-absorbed - as well as utterly arrogant. She makes it sound possible for young Muslims like herself to influence the tides of modern Islamic thought, and lead the next generation in gay sex-fueled MTV sing-along.
The Trouble With Islam : A Wake-up Call for Honesty and Tiki Torches will be released in the U.S. and other countries in the new year. "
