Faith without Fear
Irshad Manji speaks out when others keep their mouth shut. In recent years, the Canadian writer and activist has fearlessly raised her voice advocating new interpretations of Islam. Her book The Trouble With Islam Today became an international bestseller and Manji has recently released her new book Allah, Liberty and Love. The Courage to Reconcile Faith and Freedom. In Faith Without Fear, we join Manji on a journey through countries, societies and ideologies in her investigation of Islam’s position in our time. She meets ordinary faithful people, active debaters and religious extremists. How can Islam find its place in modern Western societies as a vibrant, tolerant and intellectually dynamic religion? mft
