This “article about Irshad Manji”:http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/06/01/1086058850070.html, a feminist Canadian Muslim and author of _The Trouble With Islam ó a Wake-Up Call For Honesty and Change_, caught my attention.

I’m very impressed by her candor, and I think she is right to press for a Muslim reformation, in that the true power of a faith comes from individuals choosing, after thought, to follow tenets, not blindly. There seem to me (not that I am an expert on Islam) to be so many good aspects to the religion, if only individuals can allow themselves to choose, and not feel they have to live a medieval religion.
