The winner of Oprah Winfrey's first annual 'Chutzpah Award', Manji is currently a visiting fellow at Yale University and is producing a feature film about what there is to love within Islam.

The recent decade has seen the faith of Islam, with its criticisms and celebrations, pushed to the front of public discussion. The remarkable program, Live at the 92nd Street Y, has brought in two incredible minds to discuss some of the major issues that concern Islam and its place in contemporary society.

Two very different women talk about islam
Avery interesting conversation on religious intolerance, and how it affects a very large portion of society. This two ladies are very eloquent and articulate about the subject while coming from different positions both share the danger of opposing, or commenting on islam.
Women are the most affected by religious and cultural dictums and need to be at the forefront of the defence of women’s rights and human rights, at a time when western feminist think that these rights only apply to western women and never defend the rights of women from different cultures with vehemence they use for their own, forgetting that human rights are universal and that physical and mental abuse has no colour or religion, and that cultures are not sacred cows that are more important than the rights of individuals or human beings.
In a time when speaking out can be dangerous, ideas have more importance and value and this is a good forum to begin that dialog with free speech among intelligent women that really have something to share.

Two amazingly courageous women!!
Listen and be inspired.
I haven't heard of Irshad Manji before and I'm glad to have not been introduced now.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is an inspiration and one of the people whose disent may bring about a reformation for Islam. I hope...
