Convocation: Irshad Manji

The New York Times has dubbed Irshad Manji "Osama Bin Laden's worst nightmare." She takes that as a compliment. Manji is the best-selling author of "The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim’s Call for Reform in Her Faith," which has been published internationally, including in Pakistan, Turkey, India and Lebanon. 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. The title of her convocation address was "The Future of Islam: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith." At the request of the presenter, this convocation presentation is not available. For more information about Irshad Manji's presentations and projects, see her website www.irshadmanji.com.
