She also travels the globe to lecture about the liberal reformation of Islam. Currently, Manji is a Senior Fellow with the European Foundation for Democracy. She writes columns that are distributed worldwide by the New York Times Syndicate and is also making a feature film about Islam that will showcase ideas such as "ijtihad," Islam's lost tradition of independent thinking.
