In this open letter to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, Manji breaks the conspicuous silence that surrounds mainstream Islam with a series of pointed questions such as 'Why are we all being held hostage by what's happening between the Palestinians and the Israelis? Who is the real coloniser of Muslims - America or Arabia? How can we read the Quran literally when it's so contradictory and ambiguous' and many others.
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
Ce livre est une lettre ouverte aux Musulmans et non-Musulmans du monde entier où, avec vigueur et clairvoyance, l'auteur appelle chacun à s'interroger sur l'Islam traditionnel. En termes crus, provocateurs et très personnels, l'auteur déterre les inquiétants fondements de l'Islam pratiqué actuellement : clivages tribaux, antisémitisme, et acceptation aveugle du Coran. Irshad Manji explique comment, concrètement, l'Islam pourrait être réformé pour revaloriser les femmes et garantir le respect des minorités religieuses et encourager le débat d'idées. Musulmane mais libre se veut un cri de ralliement pour un avenir sans fatwa.
